So all of this new technology in the last couple decades has really affected the ways in which we communicate with eachother. we now have things such as internet (email, facebook, IM, etc.), cell phones, and we even have phones and computers in our cars now! Our culture is definately a rushed and busy one, however these new tools seem to make our lives even more fast paced. If im at work and my ever-so convenient cell phone starts going off with text messages, i will actually get stressed and feel rushed and aggrivated it. I got so annoyed that i turned my cell phone off for an entire month at one point.
It seems as though this new technology is changing communication for the worse. people are so used to texting, IM'ing, Facebooking, whatever to talk with other human beings. Many people today seem sleezy to me because of these new "great" tools. I will have face-to-face conversations with people where they will try to talk to me (usually interrupted multiple times because that person is texting), however they just don't seem to know how to! I feel like it could get to the point where people won't even know how to communicate face-to-face anymore!
When i walk into a room and everyone is staring and tapping their phones it kills me! I always joke and ask if everyones texting eachother, but on a serious note this looks so pathetic. I feel like that is not the way things should be. People need to be confrontational, and uncomfortable, and fight, and just LIVE! In reality ill see people argue, and then bitch and moan about it to the world through facebook.
All these things i see coming from this new technology really turns me away from it. When i hear people talking about facebook, especially drama, it makes me want to teleport over and throw their computer out the window.
