Ms. Que Banh<p>You know the most common excuse I hear, from people I know, who won&#39;t leave Facebook or Instagram is: All my family &amp; friends are there. If I leave, I lose touch with them.</p><p>I have often questioned how mass social media has actually helped to degrade communication &amp; lower our quality of relationships more than enhanced/benefited. People don&#39;t communicate much in slow time or offline much anymore. I&#39;ve seen for myself how being digitally dependent for social connections has harmed families &amp; social circles &amp; our communities as a whole. I have questioned myself &amp; others on how strong your relationships truly are if all communication ceases once you personally choose to leave popular social media platforms.</p><p>This is one of a few reasons that I try my best to keep doing offline, slow communication &amp; relationships building work &amp; not be too digitally dependent on any online medium for my human connections.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Ponderments" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ponderments</span></a></p>
