I can remember the days when we didn't have social media and they were fun days. Now, when I get up in the morning, rather than go out to the coffee shop and meet a friend, I grab my laptop and a cup of coffee and meet up with my friends here on the forum.
I went out with a girlfriend yesterday, we shopped, went out for lunch. had so much fun "talking"...........we turned off social media for the day and what an experience. She didn't even answer he cell, she turned it right off......
Have you ever turned off social media for a day? How was your experience?
