Deleting Social Media for A Day

A few weeks ago we were asked to stop using social media for a day, to see what it would be like. This assignment was very eye opening to me as it showed me how much I actually use social media and how dependent on my smart phone I actually am. Although we may not realize it, all the social medias we have nowadays do take away from human interaction and genuine communication. These social medias have us constantly checking our phones for updates, and constantly looking to see if we have anything new to tweet or write a status about. We are forgetting as a society what is important in the world, and although social media can be a helpful tool, too much of anything is always harmful. I believe our society is too dependent on our smart phones and social media, and it was cool to live for a day without it, and learn how much time I actually have for communication.
