🚨🚨🚨 Saturday Soapbox🚨🚨🚨 Today's soapbox moment is inspired by the latest social media craze 'Birdbox challenge'. For those who don't know,the challenge is based on the #netflix horror film Bird box which features #sandrabullock . In the movie, monsters cause people who look at them to immediately take their own lives — hence the need for constant blindfolds. "Bird Box challenge leads to two-car crash in US, despite Netflix warnings." The above is a headline from one of the papers covering the story. "She had allegedly pulled a beanie over her eyes as part of the challenge, before losing control of her car and smashing into another driver, a light pole and a sound barrier." The challenge involves participants blindfolding themselves while trying to perform everyday tasks, the latest in a long line of dangerous social media phenomena. The fact that this was gonna end with someone getting hurt is not rocket science 🤔🙄. There are so many similar 'challenges'. Some are harmless e.g. #howharddidpubertyhityou challenge, #icebucketchallenge to the more dangerous #birdboxchallenge , #kikichallenge. I don't mind the harmless challenges, little bit of fun never hurt no-one. I'm not a scruge guys. It's the ones taking it to the extreme all for the sake of going viral. This is partly why we are making stupid people famous as a society in my opinion. How about we come up with challenges that actually challenge us to grow. (I guess it's not as fun 😏). Something that will actually benefit your life in a positive way rather than put you in harm's way. Like the #5adaychallenge , #drinkwaterchallenge , or even #randomactofkindness challenge maybe #readabook challenge etc. ________________________________________ I tried to push this before and I'm gonna try it again, #techfastchallenge. Can you go 24 hours with out logging into FB, Insta, Twitter etc for personal reasons. I appreciate for some social media is business related. I'm talking non business related scrolling. Food fasting has many benefits therefore a technology will also have some positive benefits. I CHALLENGE YOU to do the #techfast. Can you exercise self control?!? Prove it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsh-ukjlT50/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1horyu9kbq9gq
