Research, thoughts and more

In summer I deleted facebook and instagram apps from my phone. I felt the constant scroll through different feeds is making me anxious and depressed. At first it was very liberating and I found myself having more time to do other things. Then it became lonely- I realised that a lot of people were communicating with me just when I was posting snippets from my life (mostly instagram stories). Apparently, when you live in a different country then most of your friends if they don't have a reminder of you being through social media, they don't contact you as much. I began to think about the interfaces around me and how they make me feel and how my mood depends on them. The word interface can mean many things: screens, apps, software, operation systems. It's the GUI that we interact with and it's the core concepts of the digital products we use. I often feel manipulated, most of the time too indifferent to do anything with it.
