Is social media important?

Having never been on other social media and deleting my Facebook when 15 (Am 21 now) I think I can help you with this.

It is insanely hard to befriend people and stay friends if you don't have an online connection with them. I have been quite isolated from people because of this choice as most people do not want to text. And as soon as I made a WhatsApp account around 6 months ago my circle of friends whom I talk regularly to has increased from 1-2 to around 5-6. I guess people do not like to pay their carrier for SMS and prefer IM services. But, WhatsApp requires you to know the phone number and that may not be the easiest to get if you're just acquaintances​, however, most people are fine adding you on Snapchat or Facebook and so on.

Because of this I say go for it. Enjoy the social technologies, and be present where the other people are if friends is what you want. So long as you're not sat there watching your Snapchat every minute refreshing to see if anyone is sending anything new I don't see much wrong with it.
