[QUOTE="Ryujin, post: 6630523, member: 27897"] Depends on what you call social media. Are we only talking about Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin? Do we expand that to Instagram, Youtube, and the like? Forums? They're all a form of social media and have their own peculiar form of interaction. As a computer professional I have a love/hate relationship with things like social media. I have a LinkedIn account (get notifications, but don't use it), G+ (by virtue of having a couple of Gmail accounts; never use the thing), frequent Youtube. No Instagram or Twitter, both of which I consider to be truly worthless. No one wants pictures of my dinner, nor 140 character expulsions of my narcissism. I don't own a smartphone, though I have to use one at work. It stays in the desk when I go home and my personal phone is a flip. It wouldn't even have a camera on it, if I'd had the option of not, and even that phone isn't on my person. It's generally in a backpack, or the like. I wear a pocket watch; a mechanical wind-up. I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to Facebook which I do actually get some use out of. It keeps me connected with clients of my tiny, little motorcycle racing photography sideline. It has, however, proved useful in connecting me with a very diverse group of people. Never would have thought that I'd communicate with actors a continent away on a regular basis, for example, nor that I'd occasionally be sending some of my work their way. Like many things I would say that it's good in moderation. Like many things I would say that there's a vast horde of people out there who can't use it in moderation. [/QUOTE]
