It makes sense to emulate people who can balance their hobbies with their other responsibilities. It’s also admirable when they devote their time to help the less knowledgeable.

Thanks…

Mark,

Yes, it’s definitely a bigger issue and social media will become just another addiction for the masses much like games consoles. The difference may be if the role models can nip the addiction in the bud by promoting responsible use but I doubt it. It’s a tough one.

Clara,

Exactly! Part of any evanglism is explanation, if you can’t show how and why you can’t hope to have an impact.

This is a little tricky to respond to because I see this issue as being bigger than social media – perhaps it is, strictly speaking, a time management problem.

It makes sense to emulate people who can balance their hobbies with their other responsibilities. It’s also admirable when they devote their time to help the less knowledgeable.

But, as Stephen Covey said, as on of his book titles, “First Things First.”

The challenge is processing all the information available. Perhaps a social media role model can speak to people with different levels of understanding about social media. It’s part awareness of the media and how to use it, and it’s part awareness (perhaps compassion?) for those who want to learn it and are not sure how exactly to get there. And that’s not easy because how do you explain what a watermelon tastes like to someone who’s never had watermelon?
