I probably spend at least 3 hours a day on my phone, but not social media.
It’s reading articles (like Substack), Kindle books, and hobby forums.
Comments like this and posting on technical and hobby forums are as close as I come to social media.
My grown daughters get mad because I don’t keep up with them and their families on Wastebook. But my attitude is (and has always been) if you want me to come to your child’s school play or tell me about your trip, have the courtesy to call, come by, , email pictures (which I might not see) or at least text.
I regard broadcasting messages,, whether social media or work emails, to be lazy, inconsiderate, and arrogant. People get spammed enough with messages. Instead of blasting your message to your whole organization or every FB friend, show the the respect and courtesy due to people you want/need to communicate with and engage them, at the same time sparing everyone else from having to sift through more spam.
Having this much information literally in my pocket is amazing.
I miss reading the newspaper, but have you seen one lately? Not just the propaganda, but how little you get for your money.
