First I would like to say sorry for the delay. I had some major issues with our puppy over the past two weeks. She is doing better now.
So, I wanted to talk about something that I was thinking about over the weekend. What would we do without social media? We all know that some of our friends, family, etc. aren’t on Facebook or do not understand Twitter, but for my family it is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends and to keep them updated on our lives, for example the status of our puppy.
I was talking with some friends over the weekend and many don’t even check their email anymore. Most only use Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch with others. I have heard the reports that younger generations don’t use email at all, which really surprises me, but at some point in the future I can see email not being used at all.
For me, I love using Facebook: to keep in touch with friends and because it is part of my business to help others understand how to use social media.
I have proven to myself that I can break away from social media when I need to (vacations, family time, etc.), but it is tough and I don’t know what I would do without Facebook and Twitter on a daily basis.
So my question to you, what would you do without social media?

Awesome blog, Doug.
I actually think I would have more time without social media – but at the same time, I would not have met so many wonderful people without it. And how else would I keep track of Nick without creeping on his Twitter account to see where he has checked in on Foursquare? He’s a wily one.
Haha… that’s a great point Mary! LOL. Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
