Is texting a form of social media?
I'd say so. It's all about communicating with other through a digital interface. It's a little different from other forms of social media like Twitter and Facebook because it's directed at someone instead of open for all to see, but I think it's similar enough to qualify.
How can I keep in contact with friends without social media?
Ummm…..Can’t speak for everyone, maybe, but a lot of people definitely:There still is nothing like good stationery with individual handwriting with a well-chosen postage stamp greeting you in the mailbox.No email, no Facebook, no IM, no texting can replace it.I’m an author, and have met a good number of folks who say: I don’t care for Kindle or Nook. There is nothing like the feel of a book in one’s hands.Same idea… and yes… that personal stationery cinches it.
What was it like dating and having friends without social media/texting?
Technology in regards to online encounters with real world relationships can be a double ended sword.On one hand:No social media means no constant flood of picture perfects lives, relationships and bodies. Maybe you’ll find yourself comparing yourself less.No texting friends and dates? Well, you won’t be troubled with the texting norms, waiting around for a response.Not interacting with your social group (dates and friends) instantly through the screen might make you feel a more genuine connection when you do interact with them offline.But on the other hand:Want to check if your date or friend likes cats or dogs better? Your only option is to call or wait until you see them again and hope that you remember what to ask.You’ll be left out of the cultural “loop” that’s right, current memes, breaking news, newborn babies, family events won’t be in your radar.It’s really a give and take type deal when it comes to texting and social media. For experimental purposes, I quit social media for a few weeks. The biggest challenge for me was that I wasn’t able to see art. It wasn’t a tap away. But on the other hand, I did see a slight improvement on my self-image. Of course, that could be due to an array of factors including who I follow, etc.
I'm 13 and my mom won't let me have ANY social media.?
All my friends have social media and all I have is texting. I feel that I should have more freedom and of course I'd let her look at my profiles because she doesn't trust me. I have been embarrassed because I don't have it. Example- I have missed put on special dress up days at school because someone posts it on Instagram and I have no way of knowing. Should I say anything to my mom? Should I try convincing her? Help!
Can you imagine world without facebook? Or other social media?
The world wouldn't been so hidden, And by that, what I mean is that most people on social media just chat publicly and theres really no more face to face kind of thing. The world without YouTube however would defiently be a better place. All those hate comments and such would really exist, and no one would argue about how many followers this person has compared to themselves. However, It would be a bit boring, but I just went Inactive for a while on Instagram because its really addictive. Just become inactive for like 30weeks thats what I did on social media. Life felt so much better!
How can I be more social if I'm terribly lazy with social media, text, and calls?
This is not about 'lazy' I think. It's a wrong term. Simply there are different types of people. Somebody can make friends in reality as you do and some people or very shy or need constant communication. Of course a lot of people in the networks mostly for doing business. But I think social media networks not only for these cases. It can give you different interesting information and opportunities that you and your real friends not even thought about. Some ideas about new startups, your free time spending, career, etc. Social media is a part of modern life that we can not ignore (for example some statistics Social Media Influence Our Lives Far More Than You Think - Statistics)
My internet friend disappeared what do I do?
My best friend (I ll call him 011) and I met around half a year ago on Instagram and instantly became best friends. He lives far away from me and We would talk almost everyday for around 3 hours (FaceTime) and text all the time. Around 3 weeks ago 011 stopped texting. He hasn t posted on any social media ( his YouTube channel, facebook, twitter, Instagram) and he hasn t texted me either.. I m really worried about him what should I do..?
Today I uninstalled all social media. I am feeling so lonely now. What can I do?
Oh dear, I empathize with you. I have done that and know how it feels.I know how does it feel to leave all the fun behind and enter into a more mature world. You feel stubborn, rather than looking at it as a good step forward you tend to cling to the ugly social networking.When all of your friends are posing for duck-face and you cannot share the joy, all of them are updating the world(which doesn’t give a damn to what filth someone eats) about the latest chicken leg piece they ate in some XYZ restaurant, when all of them are “Tagging that friend who wants to marry some girl/guy from a racist picture” you feel left behind. You feel you are all alone, the world which used to surround you is gone.But how did I recover!! I decided to invest my time in something better which will make me a better and superior person than I am right now.Read books of your favourite genre. I bought a Kindle and I totally love reading now.Start doing something which you always wanted to do but procrastinated. I always wanted to learn how to solve Rubik’s cube. I learned to solve 3*3 cube. I can solve it in 2minutes now which is a great achievement for me. I am now with 4*4 cube.Attach yourself to the better part of the internet. I started using Quora actively. It gave me more joy to read the answers which enlightened me with something which I never knew than this:Facebook is no friend of yours, it uses you to generate its revenue. Go ahead and chill, you saved yourself from reducing your IQ to some negative integer.
