Status Update1. Life’s one big status update- Whenever someone says something clever, you immediately formulate it into a status update or tweet.

In some ways the world has gotten smaller. I can now stay in touch with friends on the other side of the world and follow real life accounts of news situations by just checking out my FB page, but there are some things that will never be replaced by social media.

                The friend who calls you when she knows you’re down.

                Someone’s smile when you walk into the room.

                And

                Knowing that no lack of service will ever be able to separate you

from the things that matter most. 

How about  you? Can you think of any other signs of social media overload? Put them in the comments and help someone away from their devices!
