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 :(
