Recently, I decided to inject death to my obsession with social networking sites. Although I did not close my accounts, I did remove them from my iPhone. My lack of computer use does leave my accounts on life support. It's interesting how much time I spent following the lives of people I rarely, if ever, talk to in person or on the phone. Is conversation dead??
The attachments to Facebook and Twitter were immobilizing for me. It was challenging the first few days to really let go. But now it's like a breath of fresh air. Being in the loop made me feel included. Being outside the loop, however, isn't less inclusive, just different. I no longer have a play-by-play outline of your day, info on who was being stupid at your job, a new cause you want me to support, or access to your vacay photos, but somehow I receive the important information in a timely fashion. Introspection has caused me to realize that if I want to change the world, I'm going to have to start sooner than later. Watching you live your life has not brought me one step closer to my dreams. It's time to stop watching, talking and tweeting, and time to start being about my bizness!!
