We miss extra bits of knowledge that can add value to our lives. We sort of lack empathy because we're multitasking all the time.

If I'm a secure person, my online persona is going to be pretty similar to the person that I am. If I'm insecure, my online persona is probably very different from who I am in real life.

One of the things that makes a social-media cleanse so difficult is that every time we log on, every notification we get is an addictive substance. It's just like any drug.

We get one of these little pings on our smartphones, and we get a little hit of dopamine as well. We get excited. We feel anticipation. As we feel this, we want it more and more. So we spend more and more time looking at our phones.

It becomes very difficult for us to adjust to a world without social media because we spend so much time involved with it.

I'm not a fan of the selfie. I think it's at the heart of the narcissism that social media brings into our lives.

Each person can achieve balance by cutting a few things out and seeing how it goes. If you cut something out, and it goes well, and your life is better, you keep doing it.
