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.
