What is with the obsession with technology? Cellphones, facebook. twitter etc. I can understand the purpose of facebook; trying to get in contact with old friends and family members, but constantly having to update your status and commenting on other peoples pages is unnecessary. Yes it is fun but a waste of time. Twitter is website to stalk people. you "follow" people who put their business out in public. Cellphones have lost the initial purpose of its invention and the competition of who has the hottest phone (which people dont realize is all controlled by cooperations brainwashing to think your life is meaningless if you dont have the hottest phone out) is ridiculaous. i must admit i find myself trapped in this obsession because our society is so much involved it is hard to break out.
Now ipods, they create isolation. Over the summer me and my friends often went to the beach. usually train rides would be the funnest part of the 2 hour ride but lately its been seeming that all we do is plug in our ipods. Now how is that socializing? NO !!
It seems as technology advances, the drummer our generation gets.

Nice post hermanita! I agree, we are indeed being brain washed, and the funny part is that we all know we are, yet we seem to continue to let it keep happening. As for the train ride, we had so much fun on those, but maybe we put the headphones because we were just too exhausted from the day we had, because when we went to the beach, we had so much fun, and had energy well spent. Maybe isolation is sometimes good, like why must everyone think that isolation is not good and you have to socialize. If you have everything you need and are happy on the inside then why waste your time with some un-important people. Thankfully, I am not one of those addicted to twitter, although I am kind of addicted to facebook. I really don't get a kick out of seeing what everyone is doing. Maybe in your next post you can make counter arguements, see the other side of the story so the reader can understand you on a more deeper level. Bye :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment bro. Your right , i think i should play devils advocate a little more because everyone seems to have the same idea flow so it would be interesting to see what i can come up with pro for digital media. As far as isolating possibly being something good ; i can see how not wasting your time on unimportant people but if you are spending time with your friends , aren't they your friends because they are important people to you. I think socializing physical is way more important then networking on facebook. digital media has taken away the the experience of physical contact in our everyday life ; that is not good.
