I have had a FB account but couldn't see the point of it after a few weeks so I deleted it. That was about 5 years ago. Same with Twitter. I'm on here and 3 other online communities and that's it. I have enough problems with social withdrawal and addiction to risk getting addicted to a little screen and hiding from the world. I think social media is a waste of time and harmful in most cases. I can see the point of it in a limited capacity, like keeping in touch with friends and family who live far away, some advertising/ marketing and for good causes (like raising money for that Syrian man selling pens with his daughter asleep on his shoulder) but I think it's unhealthy to spend your life on it. Given how much time I spend on PC since I first joined, I wouldn't have time to do anything if I was on other sites too. I'd rather speak to someone or see them in person, or go outside in the fresh air!
