58. J.A.R.B - Lacking that "human touch"?
The web is a grand tool today. Imagine life without it; it’s hard to do. Imagine not being able to contact each other with just the click of a mouse. Oh, how I would miss you… Imagine trying to organize trade with china without e-mail. Imagine me, trying to show you what I’m trying to say, without this blog. But there is one downside. As we are able to communicate so easily through wires, we talk without being there. We don’t get together enough anymore, and end up feeling lonely, even though we’re always together, always plugged in. I think it takes away what’s really there in any given conversation. Just to see that smile of yours, instead of a colon and bracket. Sure I can imagine, but really, who wants to live in a world where all smiles are animated? Just to see the way we act, all of those expressions are gone, only text is left. Only electrical signals into characters forming words and sentences, and sentences, are far from feelings; far from who made them up. I think that, due to the web, all the world really needs now, is some more of that “human touch”. A little bit more love could be nice too, love never hurt anyone. Well, you know what I mean.
I thought I would comment here too, even though I think I did on the school one.... hmm who knows, I don't remember. I wish that our grade's relationships were more interactive like face to face, isntead of screen to screen or screen-name to screen-name on MSN, w/e you know what I mean. Like with public schools, most of the kids live within like close walking or bike riding distance because of the district rule, but we live further away... I don't remember where I was going by stating that but w/e. Yeah, it's just harder for us. But I do wish we had more outings anywhere. Just to see everyone. Without MSN though, I would miss you to death. It kind of helps, but it isn't the same. *Sigh* :)
