In recent news, woman decided to spend 30 days in a storefront, only communicating through Twitter, Facebook and Skype. She is not allowed to leave and no one is allowed to go inside.
"Admitting social media can be a good thing for people who live in different states, Norin said it's gotten to the point where people do not do anything other than stay home to communicate with others."
"The experiment is being filmed by Norin's friend Josh Elliott who, like Norin, says he is not anti-technology. The goal, he says, is to inspire conversation about how social media affects people's lives."
Norin's thoughts, ""It interrupts luncheons. You see it, where we do that, we stop and answer text messages rather than just enjoy who we are with. Or people have to a get a photo of the luncheon and then post it on Facebook. It's like we need a Web presence to prove our existence."
I think this is an interesting case study as well as interesting to talk about but I would not be able to do that for 30 days.
