Social Media: Social Technology Self-Assessment Checklist

How many social media apps are you currently using? If possible, try to limit yourself to one.
How much time are you spending on social media? Be honest. Research indicates that anything over two hours a day means increased risk of harmful effects.
What kind of content are you posting on social media? In ten years’ time, would you and/or your children feel comfortable with your present posts?
What kind of content captures your attention? Why do you find it attractive?
Is technology helping or distracting you? If it’s a distraction, what steps can you take to fix the problem?
Is your involvement on social media helping you be more authentic as a human being, or is it causing you to create a fake you?
Is technology bringing your family closer together, or is it creating separation? How can you address the problem as a family?
