Could you go with social media for one week? I don’t think I could, Facebook has pretty much replaced e-mail as my way to communicate with friends.
But if you think you can go a week without using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social media outlets, sign up for the challenge.
And to get a glimpse of what it’s like to quit social media cold turkey, check out this blog.
If you decide to take the challenge, good luck. Although I’m pretty sure you’ll find that even without social media, you won’t become a social hermit. It might even be the opposite.
OK, so I'm out of the "demographic" - I'm "mature" - I'm aging - I'm "pre-death" . . . . but I still have this internal objection to calling e-mail, Facebook and the like, "social media". I have a Facebook account, basically to keep up on what my grown-and-gone kids are doing, that they'd never tell me about. And I "visit" on a regular basis via e-mail with someone whom, when we're in the same room, have nothing to say to eachother. From where I stand, it's just kind of a vehicle for "virtual" friends -
