Keeping It Social (Media)
*Note: I originally wrote this article a few years back, but thought it was worth revisiting and sharing (Social Media Pun Intended). I have made a few updates along the way as well.
There is a feature on most smartphones that lets you know how much time you are spending viewing a particular app, or category of apps (i.e.: social media). On the iPhone it’s called “Screentime”. I would like to direct your attention to Social Media. Social Networking is a big part of our lives. There are many different platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and others. Most people can’t get through our day without checking social media at least once, although I’m betting it’s a lot more for most. We are hungry to learn about what our “Friends” are doing and eager to share our notable accomplishments or get lost in the rabbit hole of endless videos or reels.
