communication?
Well remember several years ago when I talked about sms degenerating human communication? Well Facebook is taking it to another level! Interpersonal relationships have deteriorated over the years.
From the good-old face to face human conversation, it degenerated to phonecalls (which still wasn't too bad), but it got worse with IRC and SMS, when sms-es were used to ask a hand in a relationship or even cancel a marriage! Then now with the advent of MSN and Facebook, things have all gone downhill for the entire world to see. This was mentioned in a newspaper article (today) about 1 week ago talking about how emails are used as the main form of communication in the workplace even when collegues were just desks apart, they can't WALK over to ask something, but have to send an email. The human touch has been lost as technology progressed. Who said technology is helping us? It's drifting us further apart. We make more bonds and more friends, but the bonds between the friends have gradually become weaker. More numerous, but increasingly weaker.
