I read in today’s news that Facebook is launching a new marketing campaign to remind its users why they’ve always loved it. It’s nice being able to connect with others so easily but the ability to manipulate what we see and read there is clearly a wakeup call. It may be coincidental, but last night I took my family to an old-fashioned restaurant here in Las Vegas and noticed not one cell phone being used in the 7200 seconds we were there and that got me thinking about what most of us do with the 86,400 seconds we have every day. Work certainly takes up the majority of them for most people, but then there’s time that could and should be spent with family and friends, time for personal enrichment like reading and exercising, and moments spent on hobbies and other activities. Our primary passion shouldn’t be Facebook but rather all the rest of the things that make life so rich and rewarding. Put your phone down and experience the rest of what’s going on around you today.
