I think Facebook's biggest problem is the glut of information that Facebook's power users are overwhelmed with.
I'm not into social media. I'm like from another century.
Beyond just the respect that you want to have, people just miss out on being in the moment when they have a screen in front of their face. I just don't know to tell people. I feel it's like, you know, 'Turn off your phone and go to the theater.'
We live in such an isolating time with technology and social media and I think that creates this feeling of having to connect, of having so many ways to connect but nothing's connecting.
I don't enjoy being on social media or at events.
Technology moves so fast and social media moves so fast because everyone wants the new thing, but also, everyone wants to be where their parents are not. Once the mom got a Facebook and a Twitter and an Instagram, I don't want to be there anymore.
I just don't do much social media. No, it is more important to strike a balance between ballet and real life.
Social media is so immediate and in your face that I know many people have been helped and many people who have been traumatised by their entire timeline filled with 'me too.'
Only one time have I had Twitter open when I was doing a game, and after that I took it off my phone. I said, 'This is so counterproductive. I'm actually reacting to people reacting to what I'm saying, and it can't work that way.'
The more social media we have, the more we think we're connecting, yet we are really disconnecting from each other.
I had to turn social media off. It was just crazy. Just to see the messages rolling through and people shouting, 'Till beat Tyron,' booking flights and booking hotels, that's becoming the norm right now.
Don't take social media seriously. Don't buy into the hype.
To be honest, I joined Facebook as an experiment. I accepted all invitations just to see how many people would ask to be 'friends' - it quickly overwhelmed my time to process even the invitations and requests, let alone to actually go there and do anything.
Initially, when I joined Twitter, I was active. But, later, I felt that whatever I was tweeting or saying on a social platform turned out to be a little boring.
Social media overwhelms me.
I don't check Twitter as much or tweet as often because, honestly, sometimes social media is draining and brings out all of the negative things going on.
Fifteen years ago, the internet was an escape from the real world. Now the real world is an escape from the internet.
As a young adult, we all go through things now on social media. It's a part of our everyday lives.
I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the microblogging that takes place in China, and the smartphones and all the people that want to take pictures of myself and my family.
I don't like the idea of being connected to the world all the time. One should have space and time for oneself.
My life, I swear, is, like, 75% public. I have a very small percentage of my life that is private. But I do keep that private life private.
Having Twitter on your phone is like being with a journalist that hates you 24 hours a day. Anything you say on that can be spun. Truly, that's what you have to think of it as.
There's a kind of immediacy that comes with being constantly connected that I don't really relate to in my generation.
Facebook isn't helping you make new connections, Facebook doesn't develop new relationships, Facebook is just trying to be the most accurate model of your social graph. There's a part of me that feels somewhat bored by all of this.
I get on social media sometimes. I think it's good to find a balance and to be able to put your phone down.
