I guess one could write a book about anything, but wouldn't this message read better on a flyer or short article?
Is deleting a social media account such a brave move that people have to really ponder it, read a book, maybe talk with close family and friends before making a decision?
The 1st Facebook account removal I saw was something sudden: this girl had a really bad experience and the next day all her stuff was gone.
- izzydata 8y agoIn a sense, writing a whole book about your decision to delete some social media accounts is just as bad as social media. The whole world doesn't need to know about every mundane detail about your life. You can do things and not feel inclined to tell everyone about it.
- icebraining 8y agoThe book is not about his decision. In fact, he never had them in the first place.
- izzydata 8y agoHow can someone write a book about the benefits of leaving social media if they have never experienced them or the process of leaving them?
- icebraining 8y agoDoes one have to get shot to know it hurts? Is a male doctor incapable of advising a pregnant woman?
- izzydata 8y agoYou need to get shot to know what getting shot actually feels like and you need to be a pregnant woman to know what being a pregnant woman feels like. Obviously you can make some assumptions based on an observers perspective, but that doesn't seem as relevant in a discussion that is subjective like leaving social media as a lifestyle change.
- jpindar 8y agoHow do you know someone doesn't use social media? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
- recursive 8y agoYou're the first person I've told about it during the last 6 months.
- sp332 8y agoSure, it's going to affect the set of people you interact with in the future. It might hurt your relationships or cut you off entirely from some people. It limits your ability to ask for help or look for work. And it could lead to feeling left out, always behind on what's happening, constantly missing out.
