Sometimes I wish that we didn't have computers. I wish there wasn't such a thing as "facebook" or "myspace". To be fair, and to avoid being a hypocrite, I DO use face book as you know, and I do most of the things I'm talking about.
"I'm updating my status,"
"read that comment, it's hilarious, I gotta 'like' that"
"shut up or I'll unfriend you"
I mean, what is all that? Nonsense is what it is and swallowed us (myself included) whole is what it did. I remember in middle school every one was making a big fuss about E-mailing is taking the place of letters. That just doesn't seem comparable to having full on in depth conversations, conversations that are better placed face to face, through a website.
It's just, why can't we call a person up? Better yet, why can't we make a surprise visit to their house just to see how things are going. Sure it's time consuming but is it not worth it? One day you may not be able to see their face or hear their voice and you've wasted all your conversations on a social-networking website.
It's not just said social networking sites, it's online videos and things. Why spend hours browsing through some one else's memory when you could be making your own.
I'm not saying let's all boy cot the internet because I'm on it now as we speak, talking to Lee who's seven hours away and all, which is one great perk of the internet. Anyway, I know people hate it when I'm "just saying" but, I think it would do any one good to just consider their time in front of the computer compared to their face to face visits. Think for one moment what it would be like to go a year without facebook? Is it even possible? haha. I would hope so.
