This experiment was extremely difficult for me the first thing I usually do when I wake up is look at my social media accounts and check my DMs and messages. on day one when I woke up went to grab my phone and check but then I stopped myself from looking at it I had a lot of notifications from my social media which makes it hard to ignore it. in todays society people keep up with friends and family through social media people rarely call people now a days everything is done through instant messenging so doing this experiment was out of my norm. I did realize that I spend a lot of time on social media and it plays a major part in distracting me from important matter and causes procrastination in certain aspects in my life. i lasted about four days before I gave in and checked social media and I used google often to search restaurants or places I want to visit. I stood off Facebook because I rarely use that the social media websites I tend to gravitate more towards are instagram, tweeter and Tik Tok. I think the curiosity as to what was happening on social media got to me I like looking at trends and meme and even current events. media outlets like instagram and tweeter often provide current events at a faster speed then news outlets.
