Talking to people face to face has become outdated. Nowadays the need to actually look a person in the face is unnecessary. A couple of years ago we were actually forced to see people in person but thanks to newfangled technology, i.e. social networks, cell phones, we don’t have to! We don’t have to enjoy the smile of another person or the warmth of their hug anymore! We’re free! We have emoticons to express emotions now instead of seeing them and feeling them in person. Plus it’s easier to tell if someone’s telling the truth online. I mean in person sure, you can look into the windows of their soul, hear the intonation of their voice and notice irregular/nervous habits as they talk to you. But in the internet we have text! Unfeeling, up for interpretation, utterly confusing at times text!
Talking to people face to face has simply become outdated in recent days. The need to actually look a person in the face is now unnecessary thanks to newfangled technology (i.e. social networks, cell phones). A couple of years ago we were actually forced to see people in person but we don’t have to anymore! We don’t have to enjoy the little things that come with having an actual conversation with people; the smile of that other person or the warmth of their hug. We’re free from such shackles! I mean in person sure, you can look into the windows of their soul, hear the intonation of their voice and notice irregular/nervous habits as they talk to you. But with the internet we have text! Unfeeling, up for interpretation, utterly confusing text! Using emotions to tell how a person’s feeling? Pfft. Emotions are overrated anyway. They make things complex and add unnecessary drama to life. Besides, we have emoticons to express emotions now.
