Comedian Marc Mason once said, “Every status update is just a variation on a single request: Would someone please acknowledge me?” It’s been just over a year now since I have made any sort of status update, since I have made the choice to get rid of social media. Ben and I discuss this choice, speaking on the reasons behind it as well as how I have felt since. We also discuss screen time, which leads to a few astute observations on my end, specifically regarding how easy it is to get sucked into one’s phone even without social media. One alternative to social media that we discuss, which we the individual have more control over, is that of newsletters. Given the unreliability of social platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, they are something both Ben and I feel should be taken into greater consideration, especially as we figure out our plans for this year.
