24 Hours Without Social Media…

Have you ever been 24 hours without social media?
Currently, for the youngest generations is difficult to imagine a world without technology and internet, which are the bases of the Social Media World.  How did the world use to be before that? Some of them do not even know. Computers and cellphones consume more of our time that the people we have around… Taking all those facts in consideration, for our Social Media Marketing class we had a challenge: Being 24 hours without social media. No Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, no Snapchat or Instagram. Not even text messages.

When you give up something that is already part of your life, there is always that feeling of lack of something. Anxiety? Of course.  What if someone sends me an important message on facebook? What if something important happens and everybody knows about it but me? You have those little breaks during your day and you do not know what to do with your life during that time.

Being away of my social media life made me realize how attached I am to such things. It made think more about what to do, how to spend my time. It also made me think about how much quality time I spend with the people I have around.


And there is always that question (at least for those of us who did not grow with internet all the time) that comes… what did I use to do before I got into the Social media World? Being honest… I hardly remember.
