So come on guys, in this day and age, do you feel like suddenly nearly everything gets on your nerves? Whether it’s the news or the series that sucked on Netflix, to someone rambling on Facebook – something, almost everything seems to be a nuisance. I didn’t want to be this person, as a matter of fact, I am definitely NOT this type of person, but lately I don’t know, I have just been hating everything.
Life seems so much tougher than it was 20 years ago. For me, I think technology is taking over our lives in a way that it is ruining human interactions. I learned a term from a news article today, “phubbing” – the act of snubbing with your phone. How many people do you know have their phone out while you’re at dinner? Have their phone out while you’re hanging out, or even when you’re intimate? Texting in between strokes? How sick is that? Or even when you have that break in your show with commercials, and someone is just texting or swiping away – that’s valuable talk time!
I just think we are losing it and the loneliness will be palpable. We are going to get so closed in with our technology that we will lose ourselves. I know it is happening because that’s how I spent nearly a decade, and it really bothers me. I got so lost in the online world I couldn’t see past my own computer screen. I felt alien, isolated and so lonely. Video games, forums, social media and all that can only bring you just so much satisfaction.
And you know what else bothers me? We don’t even use our phones to make phone calls anymore. You know why? Everybody’s voicemail is always friggin’ full.
Rant over.
Stay tuned.
