Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I went on Facebook and Twitter for the first time after I retired about a year ago. I almost regret doing so, because they are both designed to stimulate anger, and I see that I could be a bit of an anger junkie if I didn't step back at times and say "Whoa, Nellie...let's take a break from thi...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

Jenn/Moon/Steve, first of all I hope your treatment is successful and give you mobility back again. Like you my kids were too young for the mobile phone phenomenon. I do have concerns for my grandchildren though and all their generation. It's good on your mealtime ban. I was going to suggest it but...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I’ve officially banned all devices at the Kitchen table with Moons back up. As of right now Moon and Amber are having a very pleasant conversation with absolutely no devices at the table. They’re laughing and having a good time which is music to my ears. That is absolutely wonderful news on all fro...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

Amber’s addicted. There’s been many fights with her to put it away but she doesn’t listen. Since she’s turned 19 she has a go ____ yourself attitude when it comes to us wanting her to do something. Only way she’ll do it is if she’s in control. She should at least be made aware of the fact that her ...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I just recently received a new phone (one of the smart phones) and the biggest thing I use it for is talking to my daughter in Omaha. It has the interthingy but I seldom use it unless I really need something and am not at home. I seldom now go on my face book page and do not have any other social m...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I dont know of you noticed or not Jenn, but as I was enjoying a discussion with Amber it pretty abruptly ended when she suddenly snatched her phone and disappeared into that world... Far be it from me to even attempt proper child-rearing, but my reaction to that would have been to hold my hand up a...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

Tonight at the dinner table we were discussing how over the course of the years everything will eventually convert into us being on our phones for everything. Including grocery shopping. I dont know of you noticed or not Jenn, but as I was enjoying a discussion with Amber it pretty abruptly ended w...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I must say that I've never been on -- nor will be on -- Farcebook. It seems to be a time-sink, and one that's frequently full of vitriol, angst, and bitterness -- at least if my late ex- was any example. When it comes to mobile devices, I frequently when "challenged" about using text, or ...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

Jenn, I have a farcebook page but haven't visited it in years. And I have no other social media sites. I have better things to do such as visiting this site! As for my phone, I get hand-me-downs. When my children or grandchildren get a new phone MOH and I get their old ones. Since I use my phone on...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I believe you are very accurate about the future and our phones. It is so scary how we have developed such a dependence on these devices. A payphone is now an archaeological artifact that most younger people don't even recognize. Insurance companies now offer discounts on your health insurance if y...

Re: Exiting the Cult of Social Media

I use the computer a lot for my work and have never got into social media. A colleague talked me into creating a Linked-In account (which is like a business facebook) which promptly annoyed me and I got ris of it (with much difficulty). Hearing about people's interaction with Facebook, I think if i...

Exiting the Cult of Social Media

So after carefully thinking this over I find that most social media websites are like cults. They draw you in with the fake exciting bs. Then after you join you’ll notice all things that made it worthwhile to join have been replaced by things that to me is like a manipulation . I found this with Fac...
