My favorite book on this topic is "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze I highly recommend reading it if you're interested in practical advice around digital detoxing

Is YouTube a social media or not?brAsking before closing video and YouTube 😊
Comment from : Puspa Dahal

Superb topic for today's generation specially I was off social media since about 10+years I lost interest in it when I realized FB/Twitter/Instagram etc has nothing productive to offer other than reading success stories of our loved ones and ofcourse trolling one another for no good reason Somehow I realized it long ago and focussed on myself I only watched personality development videos and focussed on what can help me grow and now tbh I dont regret one bit of being away from social media platforms I read news, have good friends on my whatsapp, I go out on weekends to chill and prefer to live a real life rather than living a life on my mobile phoneTrust me guys, this helps you at a personal and mental levelIt helps you to be in the right track

Comment from : DrAttaullah Ahmadzai

I can only say that this is pretty much accurate I'm trying to detox social media: deactivate all Instagram and Facebook account (yet I still keep one account to do my FB blog, but I restricted the time using it) Of course it's uncomfortable, and also, the only downside is you can't contact your friends on InstagrambrThat's it But quite a peaceful thing Hope things are gonna be better in a week or two

Comment from : SunriseBoy

Until recently, I felt I was living a rare life not being active on social media, it is nice to know there are others out there like me I don't know what social media detox feels like, but I do know how to use data and apply statistics to transform a business strategy I often wonder if I could still do this, if I was hooked on social media ???

Comment from : StrivingMedico

This can apply on a personal level but in this current economy in certain industries like fashion, the arts, design etc your company or services will not become known about if you never run any ads on or post on social media I don’t care how good your art or designs are the fact is that if you don’t post or advertise it on social media no one will see your work Sorry but that’s just how it is

Comment from : Jose Ramirez

I had a hard time quitting social media, when I was using (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and WhatsApp) simultaneously, but I have removed three apps from the past six months, so WhatsApp has become very important to me as a student There are times when it can be challenging to quit social media addiction, however there are times when it can be accomplished

Comment from : A Brian Channel

I uninstalled all social media and got off cheap dopamine It's not even been a week I wake up ready to kill the day, im doing renovations on my parents house for fun, im reading books again, and im much more attentive over all Youtube is the only thing left messing me up, but as you can tell, im using it for education, not entertainment I will get off of youtube at some point though, i just need books, and im too broke for that right now
Comment from : Matthew Aldridge

Comment from : Jefferson

However you feel about quitting social media, it is kind of ironic that this message is pushed on a social media platform
Comment from : DavisBergstromMotionGraphics

Jokes on you i never had social media to begin with
Comment from : Irshad Zamir

Amazingly, I also saw SM like the pokies and was thinking this is way to time consuming that can actually tear into the fabric of every home It's like a mass mind control medium that is silent but destructive to the psyche
Comment from : Mick Jay

Has anyone got the link or information about the study which shows that social media permanently lessens our concentration capabilities ?
Comment from : Kkkk7

I buried social media after about 5 years of using Facebook after it launched It was the very best decision that I ever made It’s so depressing to hear people who are hooked try to call me ‘strange’ and ‘sad’ because they don’t understand that they are slaves to self validation I am so glad that I got out of it
Comment from : ALEC LABELL

Social media, specifically sending viral shorts and videos, is a form of communication as valuable as texting I think some of the crazy videos people make are works of art or comedic gold I laugh out loud pretty often and like sharing those clips with friends brbrI think of all the points made in this video, affect on attention is the most important to consider But nobody said you can’t use social media and also enjoy reading- or that you have to check social media constantly Many people don’t It’s funny to hear a guy who’s never used social media talk about how people obsessively check it I’m sure for some that’s true but it’s not all or nothing, you can use social media and not be obsessed with it
Comment from : Torrie Burwell

I quit my socials 3 years ago but I very recently downloaded Instagram only so that I don’t lose contact with people I know (I don’t scroll around nor do I message much) The hardest thing for me is quitting YouTube or at least limiting YouTube just like I currently limit my IG
Comment from : oo

Some use social to fundraise for charity and stuff, to learn smth new or find solution to a problem much faster brSome people, like me, share their artistry and connect with fans brBut I agree, sm shouldn’t become an addiction
Comment from : Ian Coast

Comment from : Biki Sarmah

I often take short breaks say a month or two from social media and it really is rejuvenating Now, I'm even more positive about this decision of mine and I'm even considering to take them all down again, and this time for a longer run Thank Dr Cal! I definitely am going to share this thing with other people around And one more thing, as relevant as this topic was 6 years ago, it's even more relevant now Truly grateful to you speaking on this topic
