Disconnecting from Technology

I am the first to admit that I use my phone and social media more than I should. I was excited about this assignment to take a day (or as much of the day as possible) to disconnect from technology and social media. I unfortunately could not go an entire day without technology, because I have things to check for school and work that require the use of a computer.  However, I was able to disconnect while spending time with others throughout the day, like at meal times. It was really nice to just enjoy the presence of the people around me that I love and have meaningful conversations instead of checking Facebook and Instagram all day. It really showed me how much time is wasted on social media and how much time I have that I could be spending more wisely.
