we would rather text than talk

these are intresting times ..

we spend hours befriending strangers on FB , but are too busy for our friends in the real world !!



These days connectivity offers an illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship.

we have each other at a distance , ..that too in amounts that we can control .

we want more than 300-400 people as "friend" ??

well .. its surprising that we think of them as our "friends"...given the fact that we dont even talk , chat or get in touch !!



With those fortunate few with whom we do interact,

we un-friend when we want to , block someone whom we dislike , go offline when we wish,

hasn't it impacted the way we deal in real world ?



we communicate with each other in ways that ask instantaneous responses ...and they term it that "impatience is the new life"



Every one is nostalgic for "good-old-days" ..but the thing is, even kids have a blackberry in their hands and are busy tapping them , ..rather than talk wid their buddy "face-to-face"..all thanks to technology :D



All this has led to a feeling that we have a growing , splendid "social life" ...but only limited to the virtual world :(
