This is a big one for me. I have a lot of people in my little hub all over the world... Friends and family, jet-setting around... I have family in Italy, Canadian, America, the Philippines just to mention a few... Yep, us Filos are taking over the world... haha!
No seriously! They are everywhere and those that aren’t overseas are all over Australia... Literally in every state and territory! My favourite thing about Facebook and the only thing I like about Facebook is sharing our journies together no matter the distance. I love this! I love that my friends and family get the opportunity to see the girls grow. Or, that my friends and family share their life, experiences, travels and children with me...
However, what I hate about Facebook is the cesspool of drama that goes with it. Someone taking offence to something you post, someone sharing your stories with an ex or with their ex’s ex’s BFF or some stupid shit like that... And some of the posts, about horrible things that just appear on your feed, or share if you want to stop this, or that.
Now let me bring my slightly annoying analytical brain into the mix and bore you with some ‘did you know facts’.
Hold onto your jocks love, cause you’re in for a shocker...
Did you know that to date, there are approximately 24.6m Australians and, 15m of those 24.6m are active Facebook users... That’s approximately 61% of our population (ok, ok if you want to be really accurate it’s in fact 60.97560975609756). Holy shit right! Now, for a bit more holy shit, the global average of time spent on Facebook alone is approximately 20+ minutes a day... For a little more prospective Australian women spend 56 minutes per day on social media, with men sitting at approximately 41 minutes per DAY!
So when they say 'Offline is the new luxury', they certainly are not wrong! In saying all of that, I will, unfortunately, have to reopen my Facebook account again soon. I think I will be more conscious about the time spent on it... And, social media in general.
