52: Removing Technology

Companies like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Google, and YouTube have some of the smartest engineers in the world. They hire these individuals to make sure you are spending more time on their apps and less time on other apps. The metrics most companies are looking to improve is revenue. For these social media companies, they are paid from advertisers. In order for them to make more money, they need the users to be on their platform more often and for more time.

Removing time wasting uses of technology is vital for happiness and for your well being. Although we are against using technology for social media, we are highly supportive of using technology to better your life. Use it for automation to make your life more efficient. However, there is a fine line between using technology vs. technology using you
