Choice or control?
I remember this happening the last time both instagram and facebook went down. Many people saying they felt a sense of “relief” that is was down and “hope” that it was gone for good.
It got me thinking about is it a choice or are we contributing to their control over us.
Let’s face it more than half the fees is filled with suggestions of what they think you will “like” or want to buy.
How many hours are lost collectively “doom scrolling” My guess would be a lot!
I do believe social media has a place. Staying in touch with people far away or picking up handy tips (Nutella Ice cream with an empty Nutella jar was a goodie!) but this aside do you feel like you’re in control or are they?
Definitely worth pondering and for me todays brief outage was a timely reminder to stop scrolling and stay focused.
Do share your thoughts below in the comments on this topic.
Now back to the ice cream
