There has been a meme appearing on Facebook. It has this to say… ”We had more freedom when our phones were attached to the wall than we do with them in our pocket.” Others memes tell us our freedom is limited by our “cell” phone holding us prisoner.
For months, I have shared that while Facebook has bought us to major nation status, it has also divided us. Add in the amount of time we spend. (Did you know you can monitor your daily Facebook usage on your cell phone? Mine was 1 hour, 48 minutes yesterday.)
In my book The Interrupted Process, I talked of how much people spend online and that book came out 3 years ago.

Take the time to see where your time is going. (And just what you save on data…)
One father said “The new gadget helps when he’s ‘living that dad life, while reducing the potential distractions.” Without his big smartphone, he said, “I’m not compelled to get that dopamine rush.”
Could you do it?
