E MAIL : E DITOR @T HE S IUSLAW N EWS . COM Could you live without social media for one week? This week, the Siuslaw News asked our Facebook and Twitter followers the weekly “Word on the Street” question. Here are some of the answers: “I could easily live without social media here in Florence. There are so many wonderful ways to pass the time — on the dunes, at the beach, in the mountains or paddling across a lake. In fact, I’m going to log off now and go have some fun!” “I will be for a week in September. I’m going to see my mom. She doesn’t have any internet access or a computer, and I don’t own a smartphone. I won’t have any problems, I’m sure.” “Sure, I could live with- out it for one week. It would be difficult, but sometimes I feel over- whelmed and it would be a good break.” —C AROLYN N ORDAHL , F LORENCE “I would love to live without it. I do love it, but the constant stream of information is an invasion of our mind.” —M ICHAEL F ALTER , F LORENCE FIND US ONLINE —J ANET C ARNEY , G OSHEN , I ND . /S IUSLAW N EWS @S IUSLAW N EWS —D INA P AVLIS , F LORENCE DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed above are solely those of the contributors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Siuslaw News or its advertisers.
