Got 2.2k shared on social media! :)
I dropped Facebook years ago.
I dropped Linked-In. Ended up getting a job thru Indeed.
I also discourage texting.

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
—HERBERT SIMON, recipient of Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics- and the A.M. Turing Award, the “Nobel Prize of Computer Science”

2) negative,
3) irrelevant to your goals, and
4) outside of your influence.

I don't use social media much at all. I do have a facebook account I just use to see what events are going on in my area. I never made a twitter or Instagram account.I was just wondering how many people here have quit social media?
