Interesting enough, it is turning into a verb. I am really puzzled at this. I don't quite understand why people have been attracted to the easy way out method. Perhaps to shield feelings, afraid of rejection or even just lazy to keep up with anyone that would require "effort".
Through the social media: Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and so on, people have become more introverted in classic settings and more extroverted online. People are more willing to tell their life story, talk about their dirty secrets and intense fantasies.
I don't know why anyone would want to use these tools for such empty contacts, strong displacement and prim facade. After all, you don't really know who you are friends with anyway. You can be who or whatever you want. What a novel idea. Reality has no claim on the identities formed in the comfort of your own home, behind closed doors.
I think each amazing tool of knowledge and advancement has its wonders and its guile. I love how you have interaction with all people around the world. Knowledge is limitless for all with a mere click of a button. Integrity is forced upon all, yet its face, you never are quite sure if its hers or not. Perhaps this will be the end of our society into a utopian.

Very interesting. I think it was slightly this way before the internet, and the facade--or the reality-- came out in the letter we would write to people. People used to write letters you know?
ReplyDeleteTrue, I remember when we wrote letters to each other over the summer. Yeah for Ditzy Moo...
ReplyDeleteI wrote you TONS of letters on your mission! I agree though, online social medias have gotten way out of hand.
