Covered in this episode: There’s no amount of sophisticated technology that will take the place of live in person connecting. - @MariSmithClick To Tweet“I think the part that becomes a detriment is when we use the technology for a replacement for connecting in person, as a replacement social life, as a fix, as pseudo connection. I struggle with this almost on a daily basis. I literally have to make myself get off the computer, off the phone. When I go out with friends or I’m in a social environment or in a business setting, I try to really just be mindful and not bury myself in my technology and put it away and connect with people in front of me.” -Mari Smith Simple Social Media Strategy: Content Creation, Engagement, Conversion Manageflitter.com Scoreboardsocial.com Tweet Mari Smith to let her know you appreciated her sharing on this episode!   Don’t forget to check out this episodes sponsor and start your own professional sounding podcast NOW by checking out PodcastingAtoZ.com.
