hello all, does anybody not care about facebook,twitter, apps like snapchat, and all that garbage?? seriously where have the intellectual conversations gone with a human being? remember the 90s and how much fun everybody had? thats because apple products and social media weren’t invented yet and people could just have fun with each other!!!
no we live in a society that has turned me and probably many others into pessissmists about the future of socializaion. most people have turned soft and do not want to get off the couch and out of their comfort zone to socialize but rather say “oh maybe next time”.
am i the only one that doesn’t care?
Once, years ago, I went on a blind date, and he was on his cell much of the night. It was the last time I saw him.
Yeah, sometimes it’s frustrating when people can’t get off their cells to talk to the person right next to them.
Also, everybody is often so darned busy, just trying to survive, make ends meet. A lot of people when they get home are TIRED, EXHAUSTED!
I like in a city with hundreds of thousands of people and, many times, even so have felt as if I might as well be the only person on the planet for all the good any of it does me!
A friend of mine sent me a picture of a family gathering where his brother and sister were BOTH on cell phones at the same time. He was saying that this is what it had deteriorated into!
Technology can help connect us like never before, but unfortunately at times, many of us can feel more isolated and alone than ever.
It’s sometimes a little easier if you can make friends who are a little older, before computers got big.
Sometimes, they still know how to visit, talk to you.
I had a friend, who has long since passed away, that told me that before all the technology, people would spend Sundays visiting, have dinner with people. Now, that has pretty much gone with the wind!
We could try to bring it back, but it’d be like a salmon swimming upstream at this point!
What´s hard now is that despite all these wonderful things, we can feel unloved, uncared about, unappreciated, and more. Mother Teresa said that the greatest hunger of all is that of being unloved. She even put it above being without food!
My family didn´t have money, and we got into games, that we played with eachother. We played badminton, baseball, softball, pool, ping pong. Now, we play against the computer, often take other people out of the equation.
It can be sad that we lack interaction. Kids often don´t play with eachother.
Remember how we also used to…eat with each other, too, actually break bread together? It used to be really fun.
my CA friends.
