Fascinating article. I agree completely. The internet is both a blessing and a curse. I personally think that it is alienating people from one another. I am totally not convinced that communicating via CS, Facebook, Twitter et al is a healthy replacement for real relationships and real comminication. In that respect, I don't think the Intrnet is positive at all.
And I can't believe she actually got me to ride her back and forth from the coffee table to the TV, whacking her rump, and saying "Jump Trigger....Jump!!"
Well Jan, it's a valid question, and is the same issue that I am questioning. Why do people want a public forum for their private affairs? I would cringe with embarrassment if my personal affairs were being read and viewed by thousands on FB. The same applies to CS.
As far as my private life, my lips are sealed....and I won't even begin to say anything about that affair with **** who disappeared for a full month, and then came back to CS and spilled the ****** about all the lurid ***** we did.
Terrific. Be sure to run a blog when the divorce proceedings go thru. We'd love to have a blow-by-blow account of the settlement. I wanna know if you get custody. I won't sleep until I do.
Why use public social networking sites to transmit private and personal messages to your friends/ lovers/ close associates, exes etc...?? I see increasingly people using public networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to post commentary or messages intended for private consumption. If you want to tell a significant Other that you are missing them/hot for them, love them/are thinking of them, are breaking up with them...etc, why do it on a public forum?????????....if the message is meant for one single other person, why not just write them a private mail?
