wasted

technology is really destroying us. what did people do without tv, the internet, cell phones that do everything? im not even going to talk about the amount of time it wastes, but lets dwell for a second on how communication has dwindled down to a mere message exchanged in text on a phone. im a big texter so i've fallen into this degradation as well. interpersonal communication is the most sincere way of communicating - in person, in the flesh. of course that's not always possible so we introduce to you.. the phone. also a viable alternative. but when we went from the phone to AIM/AOL/ICQ/50 others .. to email ... to texting .. to what's next? its RIDICULOUS HOW LITTLE WE CARE to spend quality time interacting. you know what? that's why society is going in a downward spiral - we detach feeling and emotion from other people when we do not give them the time of day. the QUALITY of communication is just not the same. if we could find a way to get a message across to someone with the LEAST amount of effort possible - thats what we would do. there's no teleology here where the ends might justify the means. the MEANS are what we really care about. 

the life we live is governed by shortcuts. we find new ones everyday but i'll tell ya one thing.. i'd take a phone call over a text message any day. see the bigger picture yet?
