• Where do you think your life would be without social media? Some of you would be out of a job, what kind of other job do you think you would have? Some of you use social media to pass time, without social media, what do you think you would do to pass time instead? A lot of you have gained friends over social media, How do you think your friend group would differ without your social media friends?


  • Well, you tend to have more daring conversations with people on social media, don't you? With my real world pals, my opening gambits are sorely limited to: films, football, girls. Online, you can say any head-mental thing you can imagine and punters can either take it or leave it (but they'll usually take it).

    The next nearest thing to social media, I think, is writing a very soulful novel on, say, Fiction Press.


  • @Indrid-Cold Shouldn’t you be able to talk to people in public as you do online? Maybe it’s time to make some other kinds of real world pals. There are clearly people interested in other topics, I think we just have to find them and not wait for them to come to us


  • @TheGoldenMole I can't live without social media so i can't imagine
    anything that :joy: without social media


  • @TheGoldenMole said in Life Without Social Media:

    Where do you think your life would be without social media?

    Umm.. I stared being active on social media from 14 years old.. For me social media platform is like making new image of mine .before social media, I had few friends n they r still my friends .. So without social media I guess I got few friends.
    nowadays my college friends and i friend made on my workplace "colleagues" live far from me so only social media is the option for me to communicate with em. I don't like call everyone 😅 ..
    So I guess without social media I'll star writing letters to em and feels good that my letter practice in school read meaningful to me now.. Maybe I should write letters for my friends n family at once.. I guess they feels good 😁

    Some of you would be out of a job, what kind of other job do you think you would have?

    What kind of jobs social media provides? I think digital marketing , communicating with clients, advertising (I guess it covers in digital marketing) and data mining .. So rip all this jobs xD ..
    As I said I'll write letters to my friends, maybe companies do marketing/advertising through letters, and sorry to data mining this job will extinct . in fact this is not a job .
    Back in track.. Maybe people find jobs in post offices
    Or
    Some people starts their own mail / post services like .. Call us or our take membership our men will visit daily/weekly/monthly and take or give letters ..

    Some of you use social media to pass time, without social media, what do you think you would do to pass time instead?

    I guess, I don't think about doing time pass , instead of that I work more hours n earn comparatively lil bit more money and spend on holidays 😅 .. Or invest somewhere.. But without social media life became boring

    A lot of you have gained friends over social media, How do you think your friend group would differ without your social media friends?

    Yeah.. As I said I started to use social media from age of 14 I made good friends on other site too.. But they not talk to me rn .. I guess they find new one.. But yeah I found really cool people on pubg and here too.. Maybe through topics I'm connected with em and through pub chat too.. But tbh I like topic section more than pub chat..
    And if I don't use social media then maybe I made strong bond with my real life friends.. But making new friends and maintaining friendship with old friends and then think about getting in relationship without social media.. Man I wanna do work too .. I need at lest 20 hours long days for this.. So yeah social media is need for us.. We humans r evolving making new friends, being part of more then one communities n learn more from that .. So without social media I gained less friends but with strong bond.. But what about rest world ? Like take a took in different countries culture and how those people lives.. Idk about others but I like to know how my other country friend live his / her life . n maybe they want too ..
    .
    Btw I like that u came up with good topic but u attracting less group of people. Collab with me I'll give shout out to you in my topics 😅😅


  • @BustDownAshiana i think i've never seen you write such a long topic, goddamn :joy:


  • @WtfJudith
    I do if I like topics.. N did u forget I wrote longer then this 😇😂

    Quick Intro:
    My first social media account was on Orkut. It was a new experience and I loved trolling out there (I was a born troller). I started using Fb about 10 years ago and deleted it 8 years ago, quickly realising that it was time-consuming and a deterrent in my developing years. I was among the first 1K downloaders of Snapchat and after quickly exploring it, I deleted it after 1 hour. I am in a install and delete relationship with Instagram, with my current relationship status as ‘Delete’ (Blame Kim Kardashian).

    Conclusion:
    So currently the only social media account that I use are Whatsapp and TWS (are they social media?) along with some undisclosable ones. So technically speaking, my life won’t be any different if there had been no social media except that I might have had to call up my friends more often to decide on weekend plans rather than discuss it on group chat. :)

    @TheGoldenMole
    Youre making some very good topics man!
    Thanks for keeping this place alive with your interesting posts.
    Cheers!


  • @Saloniii I know many people like this. I can’t tell if this is good or bad or just... change. And I’m not sure if modern change can be classified as good or bad or just is.


  • @BustDownAshiana I agree that without social media people would be forced to talk to the people around them, which could possibly end up making stronger bonds with people irl than people over the internet, but also, as you said, being apart of a community online is also good because you are able to talk to all kinds of people from all over


  • @Wolfie_11 why are your other platforms undisclosable Hmmm? 🤔


  • @TheGoldenMole Starting from the beginning, life is something that oneself values very much, now, with the social networks topic, if one day they disappeared, many bad things would happen, just as good things can happen, if there were to mention the bad things, it would be related to the communication, there would be less communication between people, however, the good part of that would be that social people more being in front of each other and that also would not depend on walking with the cell phone or be aware of the messages that come to one constantly.

    Well, that's what I have to say about that.


  • @TheGoldenMole i ll try :)
