So as you have already seen by now e-communications are back online (facebook wall and gchat have been enabled). The reason I stopped these modes of communication in the first place was because I felt that it was dehumanizing (if that's even a word) people in social settings. It was causing people to become more physically isolated while not feeling that way. Face to face conversations were becoming mere monosyllabic dialogues and humans were forgetting how to interact in the "real world". Yes I know that there are many benefits to theses express modes of e-communication but I'd rather live without these benefits if it was going to extract emotion and life from everyday communication.
However a recent turn of events has caused me to think otherwise. The fact of the matter is the world is moving towards that direction. But I realized that to use the chat/text phenomenon for a greater purpose would be much more powerful than to merely rebel by abstinence. More thoughts on this later, but for the time being see you on "the net".
