For many people, social media is a normal part of everyday life. It's used to keep in touch, entertain and follow what's happening in the world. But numbers from DataReportal indicate that the average use of social media is around two hours 21 minutes a day. That's nearly 15 hours per week or about 32 days a year! The same report also mentions that people are using social media more passively. This means they're spending a lot of time scrolling on their feed, sending memes and reacting to things with emojis instead of sending messages. Could it be that social media platforms are negatively impacting the way we interact with people, and are they taking time away from us actually being social?
对于许多人来说，社交媒体是日常生活的正常组成部分。 它用于保持联系、娱乐和关注世界上发生的事情。 但 DataReportal 的数据显示，社交媒体的平均使用时间每天约为 2 小时 21 分钟。 这相当于每周近 15 小时或每年约 32 天！ 同一份报告还提到，人们使用社交媒体的方式更加被动。 这意味着他们花费大量时间滚动浏览动态、发送模因以及使用表情符号对事物做出反应，而不是发送消息。 社交媒体平台是否会对我们与人互动的方式产生负面影响，并且它们是否会占用我们实际社交的时间？

One study looked at what happened when social media was deliberately limited. In The effect of self-monitoring limited social media use on psychological well-being, researchers in the United States studied 230 university students. One group was asked to limit social media use to 30 minutes a day, while the other continued without a limit. After two weeks, the group limiting its use reported lower levels of loneliness, depression, anxiety and FOMO.
一项研究着眼于故意限制社交媒体时会发生什么。 在《自我监控限制社交媒体使用对心理健康的影响》一书中，美国研究人员对 230 名大学生进行了研究。 一组被要求将社交媒体的使用时间限制在每天 30 分钟，而另一组则继续无限制。 两周后，限制其使用的小组报告称，孤独、抑郁、焦虑和 FOMO 水平较低。

Sleep is another part of the picture. For many people, scrolling through social media has become part of their bedtime routine when they should be winding down to rest. Research published by the National Library of Medicine has examined the effects of blue light from electronic screens. This light can affect the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and increase alertness. Reducing screen time before bed may therefore help some people prepare for sleep. Better sleep can also provide more energy for work, hobbies and lay the groundwork for more successful and fulfilling face-to-face social interactions.
睡眠是问题的另一部分。 对于许多人来说，浏览社交媒体已经成为他们睡前例行公事的一部分，而此时他们应该放松下来休息。 国家医学图书馆发表的研究检查了电子屏幕蓝光的影响。 这种光可以影响身体的自然睡眠-觉醒周期并提高警觉性。 因此，减少睡前看屏幕的时间可能有助于一些人为睡眠做好准备。 更好的睡眠还可以为工作和爱好提供更多能量，并为更成功、更充实的面对面社交互动奠定基础。

These findings do not necessarily mean that you have to completely quit social media. Instead, it may be worth considering how much time is being spent online, and what that time could be used for instead. Small changes might include moving the social media app away from the home screen, using social media only at certain times, or accessing it through a computer rather than the phone you probably have with you all the time. The idea is not to disconnect from the online world completely, but to create a better balance between online and offline life. Reducing the use of social media could free up time to take part in more rewarding hobbies and encourage you to connect with people in real life rather than through a screen.
这些发现并不一定意味着您必须完全退出社交媒体。 相反，可能值得考虑的是在网上花费了多少时间，以及这些时间可以用来做什么。 小的改变可能包括将社交媒体应用程序从主屏幕移开，仅在特定时间使用社交媒体，或者通过计算机而不是您可能一直随身携带的手机访问它。 这个想法并不是要完全脱离网络世界，而是要在线上和线下生活之间创造更好的平衡。 减少社交媒体的使用可以腾出时间来参与更有意义的爱好，并鼓励您与现实生活中的人而不是通过屏幕联系。

"It's important that Vice President understood me that if we want to sign something, we have to understand that it will work and it will be very positive for both nations and it will bring money and security."
“重要的是，副总统要理解我，如果我们想签署某项协议，我们必须明白它会起作用，对两国都非常有利，它将带来金钱和安全。”

I first heard about Tulsa Remote, I felt like it was kismet. I was thinking about leaving the Bay area where I was living in San Francisco.
我第一次听说塔尔萨远程搬家计划时，觉得这简直是天意。我当时正考虑离开我居住的旧金山湾区。

And so, I was searching around for, you know, different locations like researching where, you know, what's the cost of living like? What is the quality of life like in different cities?
我四处在找新城市，研究那个城市的生活成本是怎么样的？ 不同城市的生活质量有什么差异？

And I looked at all the, kind of, obvious things that I think people migrate from California to, which were Portland, Austin, Seattle.
我研究了所有那种我觉得人们从加州搬去的热门目的地，也就是波特兰，奥斯汀，西雅图。

And, you know, I just kept coming up with the fact that those cities have, kind of, been overplayed at this point.
我越来越发现，有些时候这些城市的好处其实被夸大了。

And when I was doing this research, an article for Tulsa Remote popped up in my news feed, and I thought, like, that's super interesting.
在我进行这项研究时，一篇关于塔尔萨远程搬家计划的文章出现在我的新闻推送中，我想这真是太有趣了。

Ten thousand dollars to move somewhere. But then I was also, had to, like, take a step back and go "Where is Tulsa, Oklahoma?"
一万美元就能搬到别的地方。但随后我也得退一步想：“俄克拉何马州塔尔萨市到底在哪儿？”

Tulsa Remote is an innovative program which seeks to bring remote workers from across the country with various diverse skill sets in order for them to have an opportunity to join our community.
塔尔萨远程搬家计划是一项创新项目，旨在吸引来自全国各地、拥有各类不同技能的远程工作者，让他们有机会加入我们的社区。

The program was created as it's truly an additive talent program which brings people with jobs to Tulsa in order to see a better life for themselves and their families.
该项目之所以被创立，是因为它确实是一个增益型人才项目，旨在吸引有工作的人来到塔尔萨，以便为自己和家人创造更好的生活。

I made this list and I said, you know "What do I need? Do I need 700 restaurants? No, I probably need, like, three restaurants.
我列了一个清单：“我需要什么？我真的需要住在一个有700家餐厅的城市里吗？不，我大概只需要三家餐厅。

Do I need all of these bars? No, but I do want some culture. I do want a sense of community.
我需要大城市的灯红酒绿吗？不，但我确实想要一些文化氛围。我需要一种社区的温馨感。

I would like, you know, a reasonable cost of living, the ability to buy a house."
我想要合理的生活成本，能买得起房子。”

I never anticipated even when I was flying out here, that it was something that I was seriously considering.
在坐飞机的途中我甚至都没想到我会真的来这里发展。

I was, kind of, like, "This is interesting. I'm going to go with an open mind. I'm going to see what this is about. But probably, like, this is probably not going to happen."
我当时想：“这挺有意思的，我会抱着开放的心态去试试，看看这里有什么机会，也可能跟我想的完全不一样。”

And by the end of three days, I was sitting there with another participant that had come to visit and we looked at each other, we said, he was from New York and we said, "Are we doing this? Are we actually going to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma?"
三天结束时，我和另一个搬来这里的人坐在一起，我们面面相觑，他是纽约人，然后问我：“我们真的要搬到俄克拉荷马州的塔尔萨去吗？”

Over half of our applications come from California and New York. And those folks are looking for a higher quality of life. They're looking for more space.
我们超过一半的申请来自加利福尼亚州和纽约州。他们都在追寻更高的生活质量。他们想要更宽敞的空间。

They're looking for the ability to purchase a home. They're looking for the opportunity to engage more deeply with the community.
他们在寻求购房的能力，也在寻求与社区更紧密的关系。

They're looking for that presence where they know people by their first names. And that's something that Tulsa can provide.
他们想要那种能直呼人名的亲切感。这些都是塔尔萨可以提供的。

I rolled into town and I immediately had 50 plus connections. I can't imagine, like, trying to make that solo move to a new town as a remote worker.
我刚到镇上，立刻就加了50多个好友。我没法想象，作为一个外地工作者只身一人搬进新城市。

And how do you even start making those connections, right? I mean, we had instant community built-in already for us.
你究竟该如何开始建立起人际关系呢？我们本来就已经有了现成的即时社群。

They helped us, you know, even with simple things. "I don't know how to change my driver's license." You know, like, people from the program would help us with this.
他们可以事无巨细提供帮助。“我不知道怎么换驾照。”这个项目里的人会帮我们处理这种事。

The ten-thousand-dollar headline number for Tulsa Remote grabs attention.
搬来即送一万美元的口号确实吸引了很多关注。

However, the disbursement of the checks really just de-risks the proposition of moving to Tulsa.
但是这笔钱实际上只是降低了迁往塔尔萨这一提议的风险。

We found that people come for many different reasons. Cost of living, quality of life, ease, lack of pollution, all kinds of reasons.
我们发现人们来这里有很多不同的原因：生活成本，生活质量，便捷程度，污染少。

I felt so at home that I have now purchased a home here because it is affordable.
我觉得很自在，所以现在已经在这里买了房子，因为这里房价实惠。

I purchased a home. I got a boyfriend. I mean, I feel like I'm the Tulsa Remote success story.
我买了一套房子，交了一个男朋友。我觉得自己就是塔尔萨远程搬家计划的成功案例
