Technology kind of sucks
Technology is great (bear with me on this). It makes our lives seem so much easier right? I mean we can have multiple conversations on facebook, texting, we can get things done faster by using the Internet for research and typing all of our stuff. There is nothing wrong with it at all. WRONG. Don't get me wrong I love technology, it's nice to be able to have conversations with people with out actually having to devote all of your attention to it, and it's nice to get homework faster. But I'm starting to HATE how it has changed us all so much. I had a fight with one of my best friends at the time over text. My friend was dumped over text. I got yelled at by my boyfriends ex over text. You can't tell how people sound over text. You can't tell what is more serious. You can't tell when they are being sarcastic. You can't tell a lot. On facebook, myspace, what ever social network you use, a lot of people are friends with people they don't really like. Why? No clue. And yes I am one of those people. So, now one of the biggest insults of the time is to be unfriended. It's like "Oh you complain about that person so much/ never have even met them before, and you delete me?" I got to admit, it did kind of hurt a little when my ex-best friend deleted me, when my boy friend's ex and sister deleted me. Why? No clue. I guess I just hate the idea that they hate me so much that they felt like they wanted to delete me. Should I care? Not at all. His ex and my ex-best friend were not good people in my life. They kept hurting me, and I should have deleted them, but it still kind of stings a little when they are friends with people they have never liked, and yet I am the one that is deleted. Technology is the new easy-way-out. You can say things to people that you would never even think of saying to their face. Technology sucks.
