Is social media connecting us or disconnecting us?

Social networking sites allow us to communicate much more with people than ever before. We can talk to friends and family while we work or without leaving our homes. Even if that person isn’t online, you can still communicate to them. They will get the message in the morning and respond to you.

Why you should disconnect from social media?

Unplugging yourself from the online conversation is a powerful move that will liberate you from the addiction of constantly checking for updates and always comparing your life with the lives of your peers. It’s a step that all of us need to take in order to feel and behave more human again.
