Social networks have become a very big part of our everyday lives and it's kinda abnormal not to have one. Everything is attached to them, grocery stores, news, etc. With my smartphone, I constantly find myself checking tweets or poking someone back on Facebook. About 2 weeks ago, my family went to Disney World and my phone died in the morning. While pondering back on the day later that night, I realized that it was a good thing because I would have tweeted about it instead of actually enjoying Disney. And I wonder, when do social networks begin to interfere with our day-to-day lives? How many major events in our lives have passed us by because we decided to stop and tweet/post about it? It has become normal for us to Instagram our food instead of praying over it. Some people have thousands of friends on Facebook and still feel lonely. Don't get me wrong... There is nothing wrong with social networks, but they are just that- networks. Take time to actually enjoy life and not just live your life through the internet.
