the grid
the internet is literally a net. apart from the spelling. okay, lets try this.
we are living in two worlds, one virtual, reality. then when the lines get blurred, it becomes virtual reality. our habits are actually mirrored online. there are many issues to this development. we are spending increasing amount of time on unproductive stuff. for example, facebook and other stuff. then comes the lack of privacy. then comes information overload.
i have seen people spending the whole day on facebook doing nothing but playing games(read: restaurant city, some typing shitgame) and 'networking'. thats rubbish. behind the screen we become someone we are not. its sort of like an alterego, alternate persona or simply, an extension of ourselves. we do things that are unlike us, why. maybe its because that we dont have to account to anybody online. yet. *big brother is watching. Okay, we dont have to carry ourselves unlike in reality where everyone is watching you. you do notice that you enjoy doing things that may seem embarrassing in other eyes. for example, dancing along to music and stuff. or maybe talking to yourself aloud.
privacy is an issue on every anti tech advocate's mind, and there are articles on it every, dont think i have to say anything about this though,
information overload. yeah. you can get that. sometimes you get things thrown into your face, things you couldnt possibly care less. but yeah. it there. no one gives a shit what are you doing now, 5 mins ago, 5 hours ago. seriously, everyone has thier own bullshit lives to live. then there are things you dont wanna see. from fucked up shit to really really fucked up shit.
we all agree that we all need sometime to unwind and relax right, so do it. just (go) do it. im not advertising for nike here.even if i were, i wouldnt admit it readily, because then there is the issue of post credibility. but heck.
i foresee the next few tech giants would involve social networking to a certain extent. we consumers have really too much to choose from, there is market saturation of these tools, sooner or later, they are all going to look alike, and generally, these sites do not maintain their popularity for more than 5-6 years, they just die out and another app comes out. the initial name would be "the new (previous networking site's name)".
there comes a time where the internet gets boring. thats when you go off the grid.
