Myspace and Facebook and Blogs... oh my!!

Many years ago people would connect socially through meeting face to face or a simple call on the super fancy telephone. As time progressed people have stopped writing actual letters and sending through paper mail, as time progresses everything becomes more focused on electronic mail, which is known more commonly as E-Mail. The world is rapidly turning digital and as a result people are becoming less and less social. Gone are the days when you walk up to someone and say hello. In our society today that would be borderline strange. And even if you did do that they would not respond because they would be to busy listening to their Ipod or talking on their Iphone or anything else apple comes up with to take or minds off of talking to one another. Or society has become so rude and selfish. No longer can you get genuine kindness from another individual, unless you have something that they want.
The only way to stay in the loop or meet new people these days is through social media outlets such as Myspace, or Facebook or Blogging about your problems. No longer do you say to people let me get your phone number or email or address. Now it is what is your myspace or let me get your facebook or check me out on my blog. The world has changed so drastically that if you don’t have theses social media outlets then you are viewed as weird or abnormal. It is a sad day when having a myspace account is the norm. But if you can’t beat them join them. That is why I have two blogs, a myspace account, and a facebook. Since this is the way the world is heading I figured that I mine as well keep up.
I still wish more people interacted socially, and not through theses outlets, but one can only hope…

If you are interested in looking me up on one of those social outlets here you go…

Seriously...it's not that bad! Really!

I talk to strange people all the time (well, some are strange...some are just strangers to me). And some of them are really rude, but others are kind. I find it helps to smile and be nice; if you do that, people are often nice back.

But maybe I'm just getting old and retro.

A few things for you to fix:
e-mail, iPod, iPhone, Apple
Our (not Or) society
...if you don't have these (not theses) social media outlets...
