Techno >_9

There's something terribly wrong with the way the world works. I don't mean to be a pessimistic fool, but there's something we all worry about too much. I guess it is common these days to get lost in the translation of things just because the ability of technology exists. Remember twenty years ago when things like iPods and cell phones didn't exist. How to meet up people, you would have to call their house phones? In order to listen to music you had CD players or Walkman's.
And now, since the technology boom, we all are able to have multiple sources to play music, e-mail, text, and call individuals. Is it more convenient? Of course, who would disagree. Do we all need a little help some times? Yes, we do. But there needs to be a fine line between using the technology for our benefit, and overusing it for the attention. Although this whole paper is hypocritical (it's on this blog, a media outlet), the use of technology has blown dramatically out of proportion.
It's simply used too much. And by too much, it usually means for attention. Twitter, a status update of your mood, your thoughts, and your feelings. What's cool about it is other people can read your exact feeling and any given moment. What's not so cool, telling the whole world of contacts you have, even the ones you don't talk. Same thing with status's on Facebook. You can check in your exact location and your every step..Why? I guess documentation you were there. But if you think about it, you make it easier for stalkers to stalk you. Haha.
You know what I can't stand...And this may be hypocritical cause I do it all the time in class. Burying yourself in your cell phone to look at the latest clothing, technology, and news. Educational, yes it is. But seriously, talk to the people you are around rather than text them. What happened to the good ol' phone conversations with the power of the voice and emotion. Seriously, I've seen too many times, texting and tweeting give others the wrong idea. The context of a text is looked way too deeply or most likely taken the wrong way. I guess it helps if you want to flirt...But other then that, it's really destructing to our personalities.
I guess what I'm trying to say is..Even though we have all this technology at our disposal..Don't forget where you came from. It's okay to write hand written letters and send them via postage. Sure, it'll cost you a dollar..But you know what, it's more personal. I'd honestly rather receive a letter in the mail than a text message or a tweet. It's more meaningful and it's more heart-warming. Seriously, though...text messages are like group texts. You never know if the WSUP or Hii is really to you or some other fool. I'd add to this but it's time to stop writing...I haven't written in this blog thing for a while, so maybe i'll add more later.. But yeah, just remember what life was BEFORE the cell phone.
