It starts with having a cellphone, chances are you got one in order to make some aspect of your life more efficient. Communication anytime anywhere...well unless you have AT&T...or the new iPhone.
Next, it's email (I'm sure most of us have at least 2 if not 5!), Myspace, then Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, YouTube and LinkedIn. Before you know it, you have created a master social enterprise with you at the center, in control of YOUR universe...but are you really? Think about how much of a role these applications play in your everyday life. How many times do you check your phone a day? Your social networking sites? Send/receive an email? Tweet? Create a status update? Before you wake up in the morning you already have a list of things to do, and you don't even know it! They have become a part of your every day life, just like eating, sleeping or breathing even.
Now imagine shutting them all off. Well, you are in control right? Then it's no biggie, just shut them down and don't even look back. You created them and you can un-create them. Imagine how much different life would be. So the question at hand is, are YOU controlling your social media or is IT controlling you?
