We have Facebook and we have Instagram.
How much time do we waste on these different social media apps?
We will soon find out because Facebook is introducing a new feature that might curb some of our over usage, sites as TechCrunch reports. The company announced, few months ago, that it’s implementing a way for users to monitor their daily usage limits or minutes and possibly limit them.
They’re called your time on Facebook and your activity on Instagram, and you would even be able to set daily reminders that you have exceeded whatever time. You’ve allotted yourself on these sites.
As most of us, we waste so much time mindlessly scrolling through you know. Facebook feeds Instagram feeds. Honestly, I don’t really do that on Twitter.
I could definitely use this and I don’t think it makes me any happier and I don’t think it’s productive for me. There’s actually already an option if you have an iPhone where you can go into your storage options and your Activity Feed, and you can set it for day week month and you can see how many hours you spend on each app on your phone.
Oh well, and you can fill your soul getting crushed that way. That’s a pretty big amount of time Wasted if you consider on a weekly basis all that you could have done with that time.
This phenomenon is not specific to individuals, companies are spending a lot of time too. According to a study by Vertical Response, the following stats are a very insightful.
- One third of CEOs and business owners want to spend less time on social media.
- 90% of those are on Facebook.
- 15% of these people log into Facebook several times a day.
You can imagine how difficult it is to run a business and maintaining an active Facebook presence. How can all of us follow the 80/20 rule and still achieve remarkable results on giant platforms like Facebook?
I think maybe we could all use a reminder to get off the internet every once in a while. I think it’s a good thing. I think I it’s good to know our weaknesses: all users waste a lot of time doing nothing and I consider scrolling, through my feeds, to be nothing, because, usually nothing productive comes out of it.
What is happening? Oh, did someone need to leave that confidence ? I don’t want to be in this argument. Yeah – and you know, the Internet is a beautiful thing, but sometimes it isn’t used for beautiful purposes, and this might be one of them, so that is coming very soon.
If you want to just check your time usage, if you have an iPhone, you can do that now. I imagine most of us would be scared checking out or will not. Some crazy figures could appear. We all know people scrolling through Instagram all day.
