Social media are currently an important connecting bridge between physically separated people. However, social network addiction have reached amazing limits. It is very common to see people who share every detail of their life on them, from her mood to pictures of places they visit or the food they eat. The goal is, of course, “to let everybody know they are having a wonderful time”.
It is a trend for those who have the extraordinary opportunity to travel not to stop sharing with everyone news of their trips through social media. However, right at that moment they don’t realize the time the invest on dozens of photographic takes they make in search of the best and most perfect images to cause a high impact and amazement among their contacts.
It is very common but unfortunately very few people have realized that it is just on vacations when the use of mobile devices rises, thus the time on social networks during the days they are supposed to be working compared to the ordinary work or school days.
The average time of one person in social media is 8.5 hours per week. However, this number usually rises around 50% on holiday seasons. These figures are really alarming, as this again reflects the extremes of these limits we were talking about at the beginning regarding the people’s addiction to social media.
While it is true that pictures are a testimonial of our travels, we must apply a good criterion in order to know when the ideal moment to take them without affecting the time we have to enjoy all those colors, smells, flavors and new faces we can perceive while traveling is.
Thousands of wonderful things may be happening in front of you without your realizing at the moment you open any of your social networks apps, select a picture, filter it and upload it with emotional messages. There may be thousands of pictures, but without memories or real moments to support them, it is not worth taking them.
So it is time to consider, is it worthy to spend so much money and effort on a travel which will be enjoyed more by those who see your pictures on social media than by yourself?
