To stay In The Loop you allegedly need to:

Tag, Link, Share, Network, Message, Build Contacts, Email, Promote, Youtube, Spotify, Instagram, Tweet, Facebook, TickTock, Advertise, Like, Market….Blog. And repeat.

Of course, most people throughout history have managed to lead full and often successful lives without ever doing any of these things as a “strategy”. Or even as a pass-time.

Is it possible or desirable to manage without in this era? Well, that’s for us each to decide on an individual basis.

But it would be interesting for most of us to look through the list, and ask what would change if we removed each of those aspects of modern communication from the equation.

Perhaps we’d get a better idea which of these modernities enhance our lives. And which detract from them.

Either way, The Off Switch is always an option.
