Hello world. Since my last posting I have started a new job and switched industries (from government to private) so when I’m not at work learning new ways of doing things, new terms, new thought processes and new rules, I’ve been trying to enjoy my social life and well be social.

Doing so I realize how much I use social media to share what happens in my every day life. It could be a tweet, Facebook message or posting a picture on instagram. Recently I started to realize just how connected I was and tried to implement days or times when I was device free. I realized even though I may not post I still would go on those sites and browse and I wondered what it would be like to be completely social media free.

Interestingly enough I came across this article Baratunde Thurston Left The Internet For 25 Days, And You Should Too.

It was a really great read and it shared just how much he really experienced life when he wasn’t so connected. I’m trying to figure out how I can do something similar, which is a tad bit hard seeing how I manage social media for a company. Perhaps baby steps like the weekend or on vacation could be a great start. While “googling” I even discovered there is a camp for adults that does this. Have you ever tried this? What were the results?
