No, I don't think there is a benefit for social media. Only to catch up with people you have not seen in ages. After that purpose, there is no real purpose. To see how many likes you get? That is kinda sad imho.

I deleted my FaceBook totally. Since 2008-2018 I was on it. 10 years of my life. 10 years of data. I always watched what I posted and said. Meh.

Hopefully FaceBook really did delete my content. However, I am sure I have said nothing that bad, and am not ashamed of anything I said.

I am on Twitter still. Only really to read the news. I sometimes add my smart alec comment here and there.

I've never had a Facebook and don't want one. I just don't understand the point of it. I mean if I had family or friends far away then maybe. But really I have a cellphone, I can call or text.
Everyone else needs to not be nosing in my business. Putting your life on the internet is a good way to attract predators.
Also, I find Facebook strange. Like why would I want my family to be able to see who I am friends with? Or why would I want my friends to see who else I am friends with? Or worse, why would I want my coworkers to know anything about my personal life?? It's like giving up all control over my life.
I don't even know what the other social medias are. I am not a photographer with a lot of free time or a computer, so no.
Do I think cellphones are a bad thing? No, wonderful invention. How ppl use them? Not always smart.

Yeah Stigmata, I closed my Facebook too. I dont miss it. I think it’s all gone after I asked them to close it.

I join in on Twitter but not there for followers or friends. In fact I made an anonymous account. Not my name and haven’t added anyone I know in physical life. I like it that way because I can really say what I think.
I like people’s smart alec comments but I don’t get too involved or too personal.
I suppose we have to keep it at a safe distance for us. Don’t want to get screwed up over online stuff.

Ghost, I get your point. I joined Facebook because my brother (who lives overseas) said I should so that we could stay in touch. Guess what, he never used the fking thing! Just got me on it. I stayed there a while, but yeah between school Mums’ competitiveness and advertising, I got fed up.

“We live in an era of smart phones and stupid people”

The line between "Keeping in Touch" and "gossip", has always been a thin one.

Same with the line between "sharing happy news" and being "boastful".



None of this is new in the world, phone chains have been the socially acceptable way to gossip for forever.

Is social media healthy? I ask myself, if I hear the news that Mary's son got into legal trouble...will I bring soup or give her a supportive call? If so, then it's healthy. If I think that karma caught up with her (for being a bad parent or having views different than my own), then it's not.

Hi and thanks for sharing. You bring up a very valid concern. I do think social media has affected nearly everyone who uses it on consistent basis and there are some that have been greatly impacted by its presence in their lives. Yes, it's changed how we communicate and, of course, there are several positive aspects and likely just as many negative ones associated with being online. However it's hard to stay away permanently and besides you wouldn't want to miss out on all the good things that social media has to offer.

With that being said, taking a break from your regular routine is probably a wise choice particularly if you're starting to notice any negative effects its having on you whether emotionally, mentally and/or physically. But to point out one of your concerns, the idea of not measuring up is often cited by more than a handful of Facebook and Instagram users. I believe every one of us must be careful not to fall into the comparison trap for each of us has our own special and unique gifts and talents to share with the world.

Try to focus on your blessings and what you have inside of you that perhaps other people may need from you at any given moment. Life on social media gets easier when viewed from that perspective, I think. By the way, keep sharing those cute pics with meaningful messages and letting your personality shine through. You brought a smile to my face. Blessings my friend!

no I don't think it's healthy.

There are both advantages and disadvantages of social media.

Advantages are, Social media plays an important role in everyone's life. It is easier and convenient to access information, provide information and communicate via social media platforms. many people are connected to each other and can make good use of these platforms for the working.

Disadvantages are, People who are addicted to social media platforms may experience negative side effects such as eye strain, social withdrawal or lack of sleep. Stress. If you spend your time researching problems or arguing with people, you may experience stress, which can have a negative impact on your health also.

I think social media has become a way for people to seek constant positive reinforcement. Overall, it has likely worsened addiction, anxiety, and depression for lots of people.

I just got rid of Facebook writhing the last 6 months. Facebook was never a problem for me but other social media outlets were my vice. Using them to try to make connections, hoping to build non existent relationships. I only used Facebook to keep up with several actual friends and share silly memes. But for many, especially the younger generations social media is life and that's sad. Instagram is the worst. I have a friendand she is absolutely gorgeous but she basically lives for likes. She gets all indignant about guys commenting and hitting on her and days she hates it but yet she then posts another picture. She thrives on it and finally admits that she does. So many use it for a sourced of false happiness and it takes away from real life. When i got rid of everything i only miss Facebook for being able to share the dumb memes but in general it had been for the best
