It has come to my attention that technology has become more of a burden than a blessing. The information super highway has just allowed privacy to become a thing of the past and the sad part of it is, we have given up our own privacy voluntarily. We tweet our day step by step, task by task, minute by minute. we facebook our every movement. "Just left the Olive Garden", "on my way to Derek's house", "just finish smoking some weed" everything! We have no reserve as to what we will post on a social networking sight. Our birthdays automatically pop up on our smart phone calenders, we tell everyone exactly where we are and when we are there. Our cell phones track our every movement with no encryption for our protection. Companies are making there hiring decisions based on what they find on your facebook account. Athletes are getting themselves jammed up over there opinions and the crap they would never normally say in public. Politicians, they're just plain old fucking up. Don't get me wrong, social networking is good for social networking but we have been given a power and no training on how to use it. So we recklessly fire off our agenda, our uncensored opinions and a plethora of other information that, until the advent of this social networking craze, has been other wise kept private. The even more dismal truth is that most social networkers believe everything on these sights to be reality. It's the internet folks, everything is possible. Our lives are so public, some of us can profit from this and some of us can end up totally ruined. Ironically the very thing meant to bring us together has separated us even more. I know people that will text each other while sitting in the same house. I'm guilty of that. I know people that instead of just calling and getting directions they will text and wait for a response. Reconnect people! Instead of LOL go actually laugh out loud, stop narrating your life. Stop spreading your business. If someone wants to know what you do or what you're into let them ask you personally. Stop letting the technology dictate your lives.
