This powerful video will change how you use social media
There are a lot of ways social media is changing things for the better. We’re all learning about major world events in the blink of an eye, keeping up with long-lost friends like never before, and easily sharing our lives online.
But are you actually losing a little bit of your humanity by using social media? Are you more comfortable opening your computer and closing your door than hosting a dinner party? Would you rather speak to your closest friends via text message or in person?
This video is a powerful work of art that’s a must-watch to anyone who uses social media. Judging by the number of smartphones I see whipped out at every opportunity, that’s a lot of folks. It might actually change how you use social media or perhaps what you think when you reach for your phone in the next few seconds. It’s like an addiction, no?
