Sunday, June 05, 2005For all the conveniences and benefits technology brings, (for now, to me) it seems nothing more than a simple way of avoiding conversation in real life. Some people whom I can chat with throughout the day (and night) in real life, I find myself speechless when faced with them on the internet. The very same person you rely on, perhaps in school or at other functions, you find extremely annoying when chatting with over the instant messenger. Or perhaps someone you could never ever possibly hold a conversation with in real life, you find yourself talking to that same person throughout the entire night over the internet. If anything about the opposite party annoys you, you can't do anything in real life except ignore and avoid the person, hoping he/she gets the signal and stops coming to look for you. But online, things are so much easier, with a touch of the Block button, regardless of whether the person gets it or not, to you, your cyber world is a much happier place once again. What about apologies, confessions and accusations? Everything sounds the same over the internet. When you apologise, it doesn't sound sincere, and it probably isn't either. When you confess to something, who knows if you had already cleverly brainstormed a way out of the consequence if it should turn undesirable. And about pushing away appointments, fibbing is so much easier over the internet or sms! In fact I just fibbed about something to avoid going to an event which I would have to see a lot of unwelcome people. Something I feel weighing on my conscience now, but which was strongly helped by the fact that I didn't have to listen to that person's tone or see her facial expressions. I was actually wavering on the decision, not knowing if I should have gone or not, but with the help of swift and efficient technology, the entire issue was settled within minutes. (I'm still not going of course) But what difference does it make? The only point I'm making here is that anything, regardless of whether it's the internet or handphone, that allows people to communicate without getting face to face, isn't exactly very good... =( Oh well. Random thought anyway. |
