I have this theory.
Internet helps to connect people. Social media helps to connect people. But it's not all jolly-holly and happily-ever-after with cherubs throwing confetti everywhere.
I think sometimes, the internet and social media (like Twitter and Facebook) can serve to make people feel more isolated and miserable.
Instead of connecting people, it makes people feel more isolated.
Don't you ever have those kind of days where coming online is just too "overwhelming"?
Don't you ever feel pathetic while looking at your friends' photos and comments? Kind of like, "Darn. They are getting closer and having fun. Here I am stuck at home, mugging my guts out".
Don't you ever have the itch to come online all the time to check check you RSS feed/Twitter/Facebook/MSN so that you won't be left out of the loop of what's happening in your friends' lives? (I think I mentioned this point in my Twitter presentation.)
Don't you ever wish that the social networks will just shut up?!
Today is one of those days. Well, not quite. I am just staying away from Twitter and Facebook because I don't have the energy to keep up. I am anti-social and grumpy (everyone, say hello to grumpy!).
Off to bed and hopefully, I will be back to wishing that Twitter won't shut up(: I was just thinking last night that Twitter is getting a tad boring these days!
Grouchy shans, signing off.
