Does screen-life detract from real life?


Social Media allows participants to both create and consume content. When I backpacked through Southeast Asia in 2017, I noticed that a lot of fellow travellers were fixated on taking perfect images of their trip, most of which were not representative of their actual experiences. It always made me wonder about the true reason people were travelling: life experience and exploration, or Instagram likes. I have since made an Instagram account and can now see the appeal of people “liking” my photos, but shouldn’t we all focus on living our experiences in the moment instead of sharing them on screens?
