Anybody have a facebook, myspace, or a blog on the web? I bet most of us in my age does (at least one of them), because if you don’t, they might ostracize you from the modern civilization.
Yeah. Those stuff are great. It makes communication a lot easier and besides, who the hell wants to reach out for the phone when they can just write something the wall on Facebook, right? Plus I will admit that I really have a hard time trying to communicate with everybody on the phone, and wish I could just go through my friends in facebook and post the same message. You know…copy and paste. (I’ve done this before, with a poem, and even that took me 50 minutes.)
However, there are so many gadgets on facebooks that it is not even funny. Tagging photos, wall posts, and private messages are great….but actually telling who did what, who wrote on who’s wall, …that is just too much and going over the control limits.
“So just ignore it….at least facebook easily lets us keep in touch with some of the friends that are far away..”…..EXACTLY MY POINT. You see that word “easily” there?
In a world where so many people are materialistically enriched and not to mention, a lot of young immature people who thinks the world revolves around them, the last thing that we need is another way of communication that lacks “feelings”. If it’s this easy, many people will take relationships for granted.
Why not just give them a call and hear their voice once in a while? At least write them an email of how your life is doing? Because if you really do care about that people, it is definitely worth more than a few click of the mouse and punches of the keyboard.
