Geek Attack II

Dear blog friends, I just wanted to add to my other blog, and I wanted to make sure that this part would be read, because I think that it's a wonderful point. It was made by Pelirojo, a friend of mine, who most of you probably know, but I thought it was well put, so I'm posting it here. In other words, this brilliance is not mine.

"I agree with you about people becoming more and more connected to there cell phones than to the people behind them.
To many people that have relationships with people via. texts or by email. And then when they try to talk to these people in person they all of a sudden don't have any thing that they can really talk about.

Also it gives boys lame easy ways to get out of simple things like asking girls out on dates. It is so easy to write a email saying what you want it to say or a text that you can sort of edit before it gets to the person that it is intended for. (This part is my mere opinion) This lazy method sort of makes it harder in the long run, when you have hard things to talk about in a real relationship you can not always have well polished and edited conversations with people, that is part of what makes communication so hard.

Another problem is that some time people treat their cell phones better than they do other people. They will drive all the way back home to get there cell phones if they forget it. They will take it out and look at it all the time, or they will hold it all day long. They play games on it and can hardly wait for the moment when some one calls them or they get a message. People feel so incomplete if their cell phone dies. It is practically harder for people to deal with that than the death of a distant relative. It is such a funny thing that we care so much about something so dumb.

There are many many other this that we could attribute to, in our society, this technological revolution. Like the way that we have a higher rate of ADD children because we let them play so many electronic games that go so fast. So when children get in the real world and it goes by in a normal time it is so slow to them and they have problems concentrating. There are also many other problems that can be correlated to the instant gratification lives that we live thanks to the electronic devices that we have. This day and age of instant gratification many relationships are failing because so many things are so easy and fast that when people get into marriage and realize that it is neither easy or fast it becomes to hard and it is just so easy to get a divorce. I mean I know that I am sort of over doing this and making a pretty big mountain out of a molehill, but I think that is sort of the point.

The other horrifying thing that I see coming out of the electrical revolution is the overwhelming increasing in pornography and the affects that we see from that. Which I don't think I need to go into and that I really don't want to go into.

Pelirojo went on to say a few other things, but I think that that will suffice. I think that it's a very smart point. So boys, no lameness (girls, either), and lets get to being connected in real life. I love that! Go smile at someone! No more sending little :). No more! It's going to be a real, in the flesh smile! Okay, that's way too many sentences with exclamations. Have a good day, everyone.
