I used to be guilty of this lol...but I never went overboard with it like some people. Only time I take out my phone is when I'm

1. Looking at the time
2. Texting a chick or a friend to see what my next move is
3. If the energy has the died down and no one is dancing

But you got people who literally be capturing every single fukking thing and putting it all on facebook, instagram or snapchat. The most annoying thing is when girls gather up and take group photos.
Gotdamn camera flashes going off every 5 seconds fukking my eyes up...taking the same pic over & over again. :martin:

This isn't always the case though. You know some people posting they're having fun could be actually having fun.

I'm a different dude tho. I don't post on fb n twitter when I'm with friends but its a different story on Snapchat. I usually just post pictures of the beer I'm drinking or some shyt.

But when me n my home boys having fun and we snap it. The shyt is actually happening. I couldn't imagine myself telling my group of friends to gather around for a pic then we all just go back to silence and our phones or involving myself with those type of people.

I do have this strong habbit of wanting to check my phone every five minutes no matter what. I should try to fix that

Social media is fine. Before every phone had a (decent) camera people brought a digital camera, during the MySpace age, if they wanted photos and that was so much better.

Smart phones have really changed the game up. My boys and I went on a 7 day cruise spring break of Senior year and shyt was crazy. No one had cell phone service or access to social media so it was like we all had to rediscover how we had fun as kids. But once we did, we had so much fun.

I remember when I was in college. I had one of those expensive digital camera I would take out with me to take pictures(I'd always tell myself I wanted some good pictures to put on Facebook(this is 05, when Facebook first started) and would have it in my mind to take some pictures with some of my friends ect)


But I'm a in the moment type nikka. I was having too much fun to even think about busting out my camera to take pictures.

Histrionic personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The way this interacts with social media is some "chicken vs egg" shyt. Not sure if were being conditioned to adopt this persona, or if its always been there and now we have an outlet. We may have suppressed these urges because it wasnt traditionally socially acceptable, which of course it now is lol

Whats crazy is none of this shyt actually matters though, unless youre truly aiming to be a public figure or celeb. A lot of media/PR jobs vet your social media presence, but outside of those fields, its only as important as you make it.

The validation and competition of daps/likes/followers is a feedback-loop used to create a sense of urgency or importance that encourages you to do it. Like a leaderboard in a videogame. Once you tune out of that mindset, it stops being relevant and allows you to genuinely enjoy using the technology.

TL;DR. I still Snapchat these hoes, because I want to :smoker:

When I saw Batman Vs Superman the theater had a commercial before the previews about an app that turned your phone silent :heh:
I saw that shyt when I went to see Star Wars. I was like :why:.
When was the last time you went to a movie theater before that, they have been showing that for MANY years...10+ :patrice:
I never noticed it either, and I got kids so I stay at the movies. They would just show that spot that said turn your shyt down or off, I never saw an app. That's crazy.

Social Media has ruined a ton of things, young people don't even know how to hold conversation anymore.
People talk all sorts of shyt online but when you see them in real life, they're quiet as a mouse :dwillhuh:.

Same with parties, people care more about their social status on social media than enjoying themselves in person.

This goes for dates too, I went on a date with a girl, bought her food and the bytch wouldn't look up from her twitter once and was quiet as hell despite talking about how she was cool n all:wtf:
