Leaving Social Media - The Outcome

I successfully left Facebook for one whole month, merely just as a personal experiment I have planned to do for quite some time. I have read a lot about it and even seen a few videos on people who have actually done it and thus far have concluded that one has to try it out himself/herself in order to witness its effects. But before I dive into that, let me just recap on what the whole deal really was. I came to understand that social media in general can be a poisonous thing to society, and may have a range of short-term and long-term negative effects on us on many levels, subconsciously or otherwise. Solving or identifying the problems associated with social media requires a person to leave it for good, or should that be impossible for some, simply leave it in a certain amount of time. And rather than leaving all of it cold turkey, one may choose to leave some of it, or even leave only one particular social network that he/she predominantly uses. In my case, it's Facebook. Ori
