As someone not in the prison, it feels wonderful to not have to deal with this whole class of problems that come with being on these platforms.
How many times I’ve obsessed over taking the perfect selfie: ZERO
How many times I’ve posted a status update and worried about how many “likes” I got: ZERO
How many times I’ve felt anxiety over who to friend or unfriend: ZERO
It is great to actually have time to live my life rather than to always be promoting and marketing it!
how many times have you obsessed about the perfect HN comment though?
Pretty much never. I've edited spelling errors though. Comments get up and down voted pretty much randomly here, but who cares? They're fake internet points!
I see teenagers checking their little phones every minute on Instagram or Facebook and I think it's sad, but they will learn from it. Currently human kind is learning what it feels like to require random likes from strangers in order to feel happy. At the same time a lot of people feel nervous in real life because they get less and less practice doing real human interactions.
Facebook makes people act like monkeys to get bananas. Its funny and sad how real humanity is disappearing from our lifes.
