Online presence?

In what ways do you communicate online?

Today I am back to answering another prompt, and todays question is shown above, and here we go!

Online communication has changed a lot through the years, I remember back in the time when I was online only when my parents allowed, this was due to the internet being tied directly to the phone line. When I got a bit older we got broadband and that was the first experience of being “always” online, I will never forget that moment, and to be honest everything changed from then and onwards.

All the way from that point up until today, I think it has changed too much and even though I am a hypocrite right now, I think it has become too much. I am too much online, a lot of my life is online, and I am usually always available. I am the one who responds quickly most of the time, and regularly check my phone. Before it was MSN and Skype, and only when in front of the computer, then it became laptops, then it all moved to mobile phones, and now we are constantly online if we choose to do so.

Reduce online presence?

Speaking for today, I use SMS, Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, and WhatsApp daily to keep in touch with friends and acquintances. I think it may be too much, and I wonder if I should try to implement some time each day to just be offline, but I am not really sure if I am ready. And that in itself is a clear sign that I should do it, but for now, piano piano!
