I don't know about you guys, but I'm developing an intense hatred for technology these days. Our relationships with others are being compromised due to our lack of personalization in our messages. Why call grandma, when you can send her a facebook message? Why go visit your friends, when you can chat with them on skype? Why ask a girl on a date in person, when you can send her a text? Why leave your room, when you can do almost anything from your computer?
Are we that lazy? Or is everyone just so scared that people won't like their personality that they prefer to stay home and have virtual relationships with people they barely know?
I'm tired of technology failing me. When you want to talk to someone you like, you can either: send them a facebook message, call them, text them, email them, or wait to see them in passing (or a class).
Facebook tends to constantly be updating and removing our messages. What if the person never got the message? What if they just didn't want to talk to you? What if?
I'm so tired of asking "what if" when it comes to trying to develop a meaningful relationship with a person.
So, I challenge you. I challenge you to go visit your grandparents. I challenge you to call a girl or boy and ask him or her on a date. I challenge you to go to your friends house and pay them a visit rather than texting them.
Pick up the phone, get in the car, walk to your grandmother's house!
Do it for yourself, do it for your friends, and dammit, do it for your dear grandmother!
