No matter what social media you were on yesterday, the big story was not the budget being released after two years.

Nope, the big story was not having cell service. Everyone on Rogers and Fido were all over social media to let everyone know if their phones weren't ringing, it was because the providers were down. 

In fact, I was trying to call a co-worker here all day and it would just be silent then after a bit went straight to voicemail. I finally got a hold of her another way and let her know she was stranded without a lifeline. 

I have to admit, with the sesspool of social media today, I have thought many a time about getting rid of it all, at least for a little while, unfortunately, that's not an option but some people have really started to do it and I admit I am jealous. 

Lots of celebs like Chrissy Teigen, Rihanna, Emma Stone, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and even Miley Cyrus have removed themselves from social media at one point but most do eventually come back, though a few have just kept saying no to the wasteland.

Yesterday for some they were able to at least get their frustration about not being able to talk or text out on the platforms but for a few, it seemed like a welcomed relief.

I want to know how you felt about being disconnected yesterday? Did you utilize it or did it consume you?
