Trust me. If you go without a tv or computer for several months you won't even think about them much by the end of the period. I did something very similar and it was amazing how much more I got done when I didn't feel like I had to check this online or watch certain shows. It's a ***** at first though. It's almost depressing when you cut yourself off.Sion_Barzahd said:I did a full media blackout over the summer, i ditched my computer and TV. Keeping my phone on solely in case of emergancies. It lasted a week Was really hard too =/ you start to wonder what you did before you had the internet.
While I agree facebook and the like can be a useful tool for many it's quickly becoming an addiction. Some don't even realize the countless hours they waste checking on the status of others or seeing if they need to update some silly game. I've actually seen people completely forget about class lessons and put off doing their work till it's too late simply because they are absorbed in facebook or twitter.Sightless Wisdom said:Would you take away pencils if one had been used to kill? No. Why then, would you take a useful tool away from any group of people? Just because something is misused or overused it does not make it a bad thing. I've really grown to hate all the people who senselessly condemn social media as a plague upon society; it is no more than a tool.
