Students Experience a Social Media Detox!
In SA Student social media report 20147 SA students recently took part in a week long social media detox experiment – and boy, were we shocked at their reactions!
Participants agreed to delete all their social media apps on their phones, stay away from all social media networks (Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, BBM) except WhatsApp (aren’t we kind).
Reactions and experiences ranged from tears, denial, anxiety, FOMO and feeling disconnected from their world.
After the experiment students said that the experience was very eye opening, a huge challenge to them and one student went so far as needing to reevaluate her life and constant use of social media apps.
