I do worry about the progression of the internet and have, at times, found myself wanting to live without it... however, I realised it's my responsibility as to how i use the internet and it's definitely made me a lot happier and the experience of using it so much more enjoyable! xx<br /><br />emsirose.blogspot.comEmsi Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01491995085729511183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855347118196819024.post-84874909307382343002018-07-05T21:28:23.967+01:002018-07-05T21:28:23.967+01:00Love-hate is ultimately the best way of putting it...Love-hate is ultimately the best way of putting it, Mollie. As a freelance writer and photographer, I can't ignore social media and the internet - it's crucial to my work. But there are times when I wish I could take a break.<br /><br />The toxicity, I think, stems from what Bill Murray described social media as: a tool that "is training us to compare our lives, instead of appreciating everything we are."<br /><br />That's arguably the worst aspects of the over-analytical platforms that were once MySpace, later Bebo and are now Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - too many, me included, find themselves worried about what they can't do, instead of being happy with and improving what they can do.<br /><br />Simon Fallahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228255684696439623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855347118196819024.post-63368986280118488232018-07-05T20:41:43.310+01:002018-07-05T20:41:43.310+01:00I think most people have a love/hate relationship ...I think most people have a love/hate relationship with the internet. As a whole I think you can find really supportive communities but they also come with a very bitchy side. It's amazing in the way that it opens up new business ventures and is allowing more people to be their own boss but it always comes with a catch.<br /><br />It's easy to get drawn into the world of over filtering and assume you're not good enough. I think it's about finding the balance between online and reality and understanding that you aren't supposed to be perfect even in this "Do it for the 'gram" society.<br /><br />Louisa | <a href="http://loubeeloublogs.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Loubee Lou Blogs</a> Louisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/08269346619570014601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855347118196819024.post-13577346688084170842018-07-01T13:00:17.536+01:002018-07-01T13:00:17.536+01:00I definitely agree, Yiota!

For people who are promoting their content, or even for small businesses who utilise the internet to make a living a pay their bills – but for the people who have transformed it into a toxic place... it's not good at all!
