Are We Spending Too Much Time On Our Screens Because Of Medium?

To my avid readers, you all know my opinions of spending too much time on screens. I think it is one of the downfalls of society. It is all around us. I see it as a big generation gap between my generation and my kid’s generation with spending so much time on their screens. Here is a question that has pondered me?

Is it okay to be on screens for an extended period of time if we are doing something productive?

I have mixed feelings on this. Usually, if I am on my computer, iPad, or iPhone, I am doing something productive, either sending out an email or writing and yes, I do check my social media and watch YouTube for a short amount of time.

This leads me to write on Medium. This past month, I hit a winning streak with writing and connecting with other writers on here. I must say I am pleased with the support. I received, but I do question if I was spending too much time on it.

In the last ten days, I have spent significantly less amount of time on Medium, and with that being said, I have seen my numbers drop. This makes me wonder, as writers, are we somehow getting compensated more for the time we spend on Medium?

I am not including stories that go viral, but for the rest of us, it makes me wonder. Are we too busy trying to chase gold when the real treasure in our lives doesn’t cost a thing? Are we missing out? Are we becoming like our kid’s generation (those of us with kids in Generation Z)?

Medium brings forth many rewards, but one has to wonder if we are spending hours on the platform if it is time well spent.

Take care, my friends.
