Corysilk 16 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Can you disconnect so to speak? With all of these people judging Demi and her addiction it got me thinking about the internet and social media and how that is just as addictive as Heroin for many of the youth out here, When was the last time you took a week off of your favorite message boards and instagram pages?

Corysilk 16 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 yeah, it's bad. I was miserable when I went off grid a couple months ago. Really? What did you do to replace the time you usually spent online? I would think that going off grid would be a positive experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseLikeACrowTit 862 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Does it affect your real life responsibilities and goals? No, it helps me to stay " connected" with my aunt in Chicago, my sis in her house, this forum, my interests while I work; and I use it to do exercise while I watch netflix, I also ask google to remember things for me..... lmao I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that going off grid would be a positive experience. no it wasnt. I was constantly checking my phone for signal. It was the Warriors final game and some of my friends drove for 1hr to town for signal just to find out the scores. In this day and age, information consumption is a necessity. I have major Fomo when I feel like I'm behind on current events. Maybe it's time to spend less time on the internet, I feel pathetic typing this.
