MiniMeme Podcast: How a social media detox changed our daily lives
Last week, Julia Breakey and Daniel Mpala challenged themselves to a week-long social media detox.
No Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no YouTube.
They set out to see if it could be done, what it was like, and who exactly they were without the frenzy of social media.
The week proved fruitful, and in this week’s episode of MiniMeme, they discuss the pros and cons of a life away from news feeds, timelines, likes and retweets.
Listen to their experience here.
