It's tragic.<br /><br />I've attempted to be selective up front about who I'm friends with, but even that doesn't work. Alas, I find that I enjoy some of my friends far less than I used to--they were better as fond memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701815231353263575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16669458.post-78695214422779688762009-08-12T10:47:56.090-03:002009-08-12T10:47:56.090-03:00This just proves what I’ve been saying all along: ...This just proves what I’ve been saying all along: communication TECHNOLOGY has come a long way, but the QUALITY of our communications has deteriorated monumentally. Here we have all of these fantastic gadgets, just to let the world know that we had chicken for lunch.<br /><br />No modern writer, with his state-of-the-art wi-fi-enabled laptop, has created anything nearly as important or powerful as works written on a typewriter or by hand over 50, 100, 200 years ago. Today’s artists, with the “help” of Photoshop and what not, have yet to create masterpieces that match the classics. No bubbly tune in the past 20 years has come close to muting the power of a basic drums-bass-guitar-piano rock getup.<br /><br />Facebook? Twitter? I recently did a serious application purge and limited my Friends list to people who are actually my friend. Just because we worked together for two weeks eight years ago doesn’t mean we need to share baby pictures. Just because we went to the same school for 10 years and never spoke to each other doesn’t mean that we suddenly have to be best cyber friends. There’s a reason why we never were friends in the first place. This exercise did me good, because my list has dwindled its way to a more manageable experience. The people I have on Facebook/Twitter are people I actually care about and – hopefully – people that care about me.RestrictionsApplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995688972174465959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16669458.post-25854018289440899732009-08-12T10:00:03.564-03:002009-08-12T10:00:03.564-03:00I haven't visited Facebook in months. It's...I haven't visited Facebook in months. It's just one long, dull rambling by people who have too much time on their hands. It was fun at first to reconnect, but now it feels like a chore.Teeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943312952246047448noreply@blogger.com
