There have been many advances in technology especially in the last ten years. It is like it is taking leaps and bounds. It sickens me to think that there are people who are almost literally glued to their cell phones, iPads and other items, you can't go for a walk, a short bus ride or even out for coffee without seeing someone pull out their phone to see if they missed any text messages. Now I know I'm not one to talk, but I can at least leave the house without my phone and be fine with that unless of course I lock my keys in the house...that's another story already written here. Anyway I also know that there have been many rants about this particular subject.
Now onto social medias like Facebook...There have been many drama situations that have arisen within Facebook walls over the years that I have been on Facebook. Some of them have been funny misunderstanding, but others have been down right hurtful and frustrating. This whole area has been a struggle for me and I'm sure as I talk about this a bit more you'll understand entirely. Connecting through Facebook or Text messages can be a struggle, though a perk for those you cannot see right away and to quickly get a response is nice. However, lately even including a conversation today I have totally misunderstood the context in which the person was talking to me. I couldn't hear the tone in their voice, nor could I see the expression on their face. It frustrates me because I get upset or defensive and I think that I have the right to, until that person says "Uh Christina, that's not how I meant it." However, that is how it is being perceived when I read what was written. Another thing is sometimes it is explained in how they meant it, but then you wonder if they are just covering because they made you upset. Now when it comes to my closest friends and family I hope that is not the case, but I'm sure that it is every once in a while. These are the times that I want to leave Facebook again and just cut myself off, but these services are so great at the same time it makes it a challenge.
What are some of your thoughts on this?
