Hey Charlotte, we seem to have found some common ground. Even though my original argument was that if you count every age group and every country, not everyone is on FB, I do think that too many people that are on it, are officially addicted. And just because it may seem normal, doesn't mean you should buy into it and accept it. If your friend does that in front of you, let him know. Don't be a sheep.
If 100 people were driving 100 miles per hour, that don't make it right. And like you, I do miss the flip phones too. Shit was more real, you know wud I mean? Even though I have an iphone, I make it a habit to only use it when necessary. When I'm out with a friend, I am not going to go on Instagram or Twitter and see what the latest trend is. I have a life. And I'm sorry but the phone doesn't do it for me. It doesn't replace a friend or my girl. There really is nothing so important that forces me to stop the conversation, ignore who I'm with, and check on the latest tweet. If they ask me what the score is of the football game, I may do them a favor. Like I said, not all of them have the smart phone.
I have friends of all ages, all backgrounds. I'm cordial, affable, amicable, and amiable with my friends. And as a humanitarian and a realist, I believe in intellectual conversations and spending quality time together. That's why I keep on stating that social media is okay only if used in moderation. Social media is a great way to facilitate meet ups, but it doesn't serve as a real replacement for a meet up. I don't know if you noticed, but many times fb conversations don't really carry on over when you see that person you were chatting with, in real life.
But don't become a slave to technology. Learn from Eminem. Learn how to live and love people in real life. It's more important to make friends who you can call up and go places with, talk to, then it is to just accept a friend request and press ''Like.'' Remember, facebook is limited. You'll never develop the true relationships on facebook, but only in real life. If it's your friends b-day give him a call, see what's up. Don't just post, ''Happy B-day.''
Yeah he's just being annoying now..
