So Dependent

It’s so crazy how much we depend on technology. Me being a technology guy, it’s sad how addicted I am the very things that make our lives easier. Besides it's a terribly expensive hobby to have, haha. That set aside, I started to think about this because I left my phone at home today when I went to work. I feel so naked without it, even more distant and disconnected from the world. No not really, but there are definitely people out there that are just like that. It's crazy! I can remember back in the beginnings of High School when cell phones were a luxury item, and you were pretty cool if you had one. But since barely anyone did, they were kind of pointless to have. We seemed to get a long alright without them, but here we are now, tied to texting and talking on the phone. For me I'd rather just talk in person, it's easier to distinguish emotion and converse in a more intimate manner. A funny thought came to mind while I've been rambling on about this. Have you ever noticed that when you are stuck in an awkward position you tend to pull out your phone and pretend to do something? Or text someone just so you have an excuse to withdrawal yourself from such awkwardness?? Haha I know I have, especially when you’re in a position by yourself with no friends and ya… how pathetic is that, but it's true. And in a sense it's just another added scare to us. We tend to withdrawal from the intimate society and therefore lose that unique relationship with individuals that were once present years ago.

So I really have no idea why I just went off on that, but I guess I can pull from it that I kind of miss being able to get to know more people faster and in a more intimate manner, than just sitting on the computer or phone texting, or IMing. But all in all, it certainly has made life easier, especially to get a hold of people, and to get things done in a more timely manner. What a crazy world, so when you get a chance, sit back, relax, and just chill for a bit. Wind down and let yourself rejuvenate! Happy Days!
