Hi Jo-ann,

Thanks,
The Facebook Team

I don’t like how we’re all so reliant on technology. Breaking up through sms. Having someone hit on you via sms as well. Talking to strangers you’ll never meet on MSN. Displaying your entire social life for the whole world to see via Facebook. Exposing the intimate details of your personal life on your blog. Listening to music on your iPod and blocking out any form of commucation with the people around you. Been there, done that. Aren’t we lowering our standards? We’ve cheapened the way a life is supposed to be led by living our entire lives through technological gadgets. For example, getting to know someone through sms. How often do relationships built entirely through texting and MSN become lasting ones? Communication has become so superficial, and relationships have been rendered meaningless. Cowards, that’s what we are. People are now able to say hurtful things to each other through texts and MSN and Facebook, while being able to avoid the true confrontation with the other person. They resort to bitching about each other by posting anonymously on tagboards and chatrooms. We hide behind screens of protection to do and say things that we would never have the guts to in real life. I regret ever being so reliant on my technological gadgets. MSN, Facebook, my phone, my iPod. Now, it’s become a part of me, and if taken away, I don’t know what I’d do. Sometimes I feel as if I’ve taken my relationships for granted. And what scares me the most about this is that the damage done may be far more irreversible than I expected.

No Facebook, minimal MSN. That’s a starting point for me for now.
