Changing Who You Are?
What You Notice and Don't Notice About Social Media
“Technology doesn’t just do things for us. It does things to us, changing not just what we do but who we are,” — MIT Professor, Sherry Turkle.
There are a few things I’ve learned, just out-of-the-box, that I’ve come to quickly appreciate about not being on social media.
The first is that I really don’t know what’s going on in the world. And I’m okay with that. I get the local news. In fact, the local news is the only news I check in the morning -- on TV, not on my phone. I know the weather and traffic and the events most impacting my city and my church members who live in this city.
