How to minimize contact with social networks

If you have not read the previous articles in this series (1, 2, 3), Start with them and come back to this material.

We heard rumors that some of you have decided to stop unconscious chewing "social hay" or even stop to do it for a while, and can be - forever. The new "antisocial" article I will tell you about some tricks that will help you not intersect with social networks - often you do it, even when they themselves do not want and need it stop.

unconscious reflexes

My friends and I on vacation outside the country have noticed one interesting thing. If you sit at the table four or more companies and someone pulls out his phone from his pocket, then you and everyone else is doing the same thing. Those. The former go might just see the time, but you get it unwittingly. Unlock and... go check Facebook. It works like a yawning - yawning one for physiological reasons, and you repeat on other non-natural needs. Yawn? ;)

Get a watch

"Why would I watch, if you have a phone?" You also say that, right? ;) And then you get the phone to see the time, check out Facebook and Twitter, put the Smart in your pocket and do not answer clearly the question another "? So what time" clock, even a cheap the CASIO, show the time and do not show huskies - for that I am their I love you!

photography

Pay attention to the pictures of your friends on the social networks. Very often, they slouched look to the phone. They look in the phone on the beach, looking into the phone in a restaurant or pub, look in the phone in group photo. Try to do so with you these photos do not appear. Think about it, how about a stupid meme, of which just stupid to be.

Client software

You say that Facebook or VKontakte client - it is very convenient? It is convenient and only for networks that can pull you at any time when they need it. applications among mobile software developers have become so respected for what they are, when once installed, allow your brain to adjust to the direct contact and force-feed him anything. Remove client Twitter and Facebook to hell - why do you need these alerts? Leave alone Facebook Messenger and have not broadcast, and targeted messages. And also remember that mobile social networking sites of all look at the 90%, as the native application. Give the trouble to open a browser and enter the address, enter your login and password, and then chew on Facebook. And one day, having done it a dozen times, you will say to yourself: "Yes, well, its bounce," I once said, and it wonderful feeling of worthlessness and uninteresting to me people that crap that they carry in their tapes. Time for a permanent authorization, and the opening networking sites you will find precious - the "status" is not worth even 5 seconds. You traded life on sleaze!

Oh, and by using mobile versions of social networks on the same iPhone, you can not post fotochki. Is not that what we want to achieve? :)

Emptiness

If you are afraid of doing nothing. If you are used to fill in the void of time sitting in hospitals, airports, standing in line at the post Russian social networks, then stop doing it. Put the book in the bag and carry with you always, read it - fill her void. Why did you change the work of the author who wrote a book on idleness loafers generyaschih thrash you in the film? Yes, better play the game on the phone, so at least learn how to construct the game and perhaps create your own. What can you create after reading negative, demotivators and seals in the film?

Watching films

It is believed that the present generation is accelerated, that now can not consume only one screen. It is said that it is "doppinguetsya" second screen smartphone or tablet. They say that it thinks so quickly that it is ready to accept an additional information channel (and sometimes 2 and 3) at the same time in your mind. But I do not agree with this (where the modern Nikola Tesla or Einstein?).

When I chew gum (not actually done this for many years), I can and drink and talk and think about her, and even read your outpouring to Facebook. When I eat a dish cooked with love, I can not think about anything and do anything else. I save the smart phone and tablet, and it, thinking about how cool cherry tomatoes combined with mozzarella and pesto pasta. And this rocket with olives and pine nuts! How can you Watch "House" in parallel with the meal, when you have such a "movie" in the mouth?

You duplicate movies and TV series Facebook and Twitter just because you chose crappy movie. It's not you speed, your content is braked. Read a book about the art of shooting the camera and you do not come off from the "Coffee and Cigarettes", you will not be able to look at the tape of friends when in front of your eyes, another creation of Pedro Almodovar. If today you see this movie, duplicating social networks, then you're just not able to understand the taste of this movie. Learn to understand and do not be deceived, that you are such a crash. That's when invent, how to extract atmospheric electricity - let's talk :)

A diary

Keep a diary. Keep it on paper or in the programs. If you have a need for broadcasting, then try to broadcast a. Do not skip on the thoughts and puts them in a box and climb once a month or a year. You kept a diary as a child or a book of friends? It is an extraordinary feeling to open them today, and get back to - you want to become a pilot, would have many friends (the real you did not know that there is a virtual surrogate) and children, such as lovely as they were you.

Only after reading it, you will realize that nothing is done and start something finally changed. As you'll see in 40-50-60 years you want and what is not being done 20 years of an optimist? How do you give the word itself in the future? Go to rake 1,342,098 tweets or will seek wisdom in the posts on Facebook, which today you produce dozens per day! After 20 years you will have a 100... 200 thousand. posts. And it will not be the story of your life, it will be a story of how you pissed away.

trips

At what point did you think that your report on a trip to Istanbul the same better from National Geographic and Global Trekker. At some point, you began to make his vision of a new city not because of Marco Polo, and from Instagram? You still continue to build their image, showing everyone how cool you are traveling and how lucky you are to be successful all these network failures around you? This makes no sense.

Can you show me a selection of pictures of your retreat to India, and report on a trip to Bali? And maybe you have stockpiled a selection of photos of your baby, so that has grown rapidly over the last five years? If not, then you're just like me in the past - a collector likes and stupid useless comments.

My life has expanded on irrelevant folders over the past five years - a torn events unrelated. My two months in Thailand, I was not able to put together - it's a collection of superficial govnofotok with thousands of likes. But today what I care about that, if I did not keep it, I liked it so much for yourself?

Collect photos on cameras and smartphones in the travel time, and arriving, make a memory board - real or virtual. Tag friends in iPhoto and bekapte in Time Machine. Call friends to "Gusyatnikov" on arrival, show and tell them about the trip. Hammer on the other - their opinion is not important.

"But I'm in touch with real friends! It is so convenient to VK! »

No, it's convenient only to stimulate your ego. If you do not need to encourage it, there is nothing to post about anything and do not need to broadcast. Get a group to chat in the chat or the same group in Facebook or WhatsApp. Fasting to pictures, videos and jokes. Here in front of you friends, here they are rolling in emoticons, you - the hero. You do not get the Huskies from whom it is not clear and do not think about it. You do not retrograde - you thoughtful use of technology.

Mobile internet and battery life

Remember how recently you have been discussing geek-operator who so dearly sells you 5GB of bandwidth per month, which is not enough? But Apple is not the bastards? Their batteries hardly live till the evening!

If you are not going to suffer the syndrome FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), which constantly echoes that you check out what's new in the mesh, your batareechka can live 2-3 days. I recently noticed with interest charge of 73% at 9 pm on my iPhone 4s, that is until 3 pm rarely live without makeup.

And even now I have a package of 350 MB, instead of 3GB. And you know what, I remain at the end of the month the traffic - and a couple of bottles of delicious wine and his family, which has ceased to be a member of the worthless reality TV show.

"Maybe I from" Layfhakera "unsubscribe ?!"

I'll tell you a sacred secret. We will never become widespread. For techno-geeks have Habr, to watered-freaks - the Echo of Moscow, for snobs - SNOB for hipsters - LAM. Nobody wants to be unconscious readers actually. If you understand why you are with us, then do not unsubscribe. If you are a diver by title, then we will quickly lose the case. Moreover, if we are just for you, then you will come to us directly to the site. Go to the websites of those publications, which believe. I am reading TechCrunch.com, Lifehacker.ru (And you thought there? :), theverge.com, furfurmag.ru. I go to the sites, because I was interested in the opinions of their authors, I was not interested in the view of someone on the materials, not even interested in what someone deems me another interest in the mesh, seeing my rassharennye content. Let me tell you another secret - people often rummage content, not because they liked it, but because they want to show their position to their "friends". They say to themselves, "Oh, I read the" Kommersant ", I'm not a redneck, I understand how the debt crisis", "With all agree with Uskov on snobs, I'm the same smart and successful "," Latynina slid right about democracy, all agree, "But the point is that they do not read anything, but only laykayut! - so there are thousands of likes, that do not mean anything any blog or media, nor for a lone blogger who writes for himself and another 10 man.

Think about the day when you believe in the wisdom of the crowd and decided that the authors and editors of reputable resources are unable to meet your content. On this day, we have lost a sense of location and quality.

That's what I saw by writing this paragraph. Why should I have seen? How it razvidet?
