Instagram influence in the world - Is it too late?
Set the wayback machine to October 2010 when I heard from a California friend about this new thing called “Instagram”. I knew no one else using the app but I dove in head first. Quick friends were made and filters were enjoyed. Over the years I become more mindful of the impact of this new world: the Facebook purchase, the stolen features from Snapchat, the influencers, the narcissism, the cynicism, and more.
As if waking from a dream I woke up one day and realized that Instagram simply wasn’t for me anymore. I deleted my account and that was that. It’s been well over a year and while I do miss friends I can’t bring myself to go back to that world. I regained literal hours of time each week and overall feel a much healthier outlook on the real world.
