Too much social media kills the golden goose? That’s our topic this week as we discuss a recent article in the New York Times. Our intrepid Geek Whisperers discussed this article from Cal Newport, Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend On It.
A couple of points that we make:
So boo-yah, Cal. Good luck with the new book. I do think training your attention span is likely to be a good thing.The micro-rush of endorphins from pulling on the Twitter stream can be indulged in too much. I suspect if we all had a daily meditation practice there would be less stress and less idiocy in the world. I recommend everybody put down their phone and spend some time in nature… but don’t be too hasty; listen to the podcast first.
