My first 5 participants are at their 5th day withoul social networking. Tomorrow it is time for another 2 to start. It is really interesting to see if they will manage. Can not wait for the result. One participant actually told me when I met her that she kind of feel released and suddenly have lots of time spending on other things. The last 2 participants seems to have dropped out. But I still have 7 all together. Another participant told me that she feels it is a habit to log into e.g. facebook, not because she needs to, but to break her normal daily routine, that is the hardest part.
One of the participants will suicide on the net a few days after he finished this mission. That will be an experience to witness his 600 friends be erased and all his posts and photos. It also takes lots of courage to do it, because as we all know, Social media is about connecting, sharing and feel a bound with your friends and families, just as it is a time consuming addiction.
