technology
the following is in no way a diss to any of the people i talk to so don’t take this personally…but i am getting sick of texting! i never thought i would say that because i have always been a strong advocate for it but im beginning to resent it. i used to love being able to just text anyone, any time about anything. and i still do because texting is great for that kind of thing. if you hear a song on the radio and it reminds you of blasting that song with your sister last summer, you can text her about it. but my resentment comes from replacing these little snippets of communication with actual conversation. i almost never talk to my sister on the phone anymore (not blaming you bek, just saying) and it’s just silly that we’re letting the newest form of technology dictate the relationships we have and how we stay connected with them. i was watching CNN this morning and they were doing a live feed from an Apple store because the new iPhone 4 came out today. they were interviewing people that had been standing in line since tuesday! it is now thursday. i’m all for updating your gadgets and getting new programs because i do that with my design work, but it’s disheartening when it affects our personal lives so much.
i shouldn’t even be ranting about this cuz i still text more than i call. at this point i do it out of habit because there are just so many people i text regularly. ill go through spurts where i just refuse to text. i say that ill call them later instead but then i never have a good time to call..so once again, i will revert back to texting. it’s a bad cycle that even i can’t break but i still have bitter feelings mixed in.
that’s my rant for the day. i feel better now
