Ok, this one is classic, I was at work the other day and I joked with someone to close out a maintenance ticket, he laughed and said he doesn’t do anything unless he gets an email…I laughed and said what’s that…no one uses email anymore…it’s all about the texting. Well, several people were in the room and starting laughing, one actually said that was funny because that is how she usually talks to her boyfriend. I was totally taken by that comment and then I began to think…you know, that’s were our society is going to…no more human interaction.
Now, I thought about that and I look back at my previous relationship and when I think about the actual times we talked…I released that most, if not all, were done over the phone. We actually never talked while we were next to each other. Yah, of course like I said before, the whole dating thing and courtship is always wonderful and memorable, but what happens once you become a couple or even married…why does the communication stop and either completely no communication or you end either talking on the phone most of the time, he’s at work, she’s at work or like now-a-days texting.
Texting has become the main stream of how we now communicate. I mean there is even position within companies with the actually title of Social Network manager or even CEO…crazy, these people get hire don to Tweet, and manage any Social network sites that the company might use to drive consumers to their business, product or service.
The thing is that texting, Tweeting and other social networks has also taken a huge piece of relationships, I have heard and seen couples talk about, hey did you see my Tweet or did you see the new pictures of our children I have on Face Book? How does it work now that in order to get to know someone you need to be connected to some type of Social Network, I mean is that the way we are going to courtship the love of our lives? Is this the new way dating by skipping any happy hours or dates in order to get to know someone? I could see it now, you are at a club and walk up to someone and you say, so you tweeting or Face booking? They respond, yah…you respond…sweet…what’s your user name / handle…and the relationship begins. That sounds crazy.
Think about it…you are married for 10-15 years and the only thing you need to do is log on to a Social Network and see what your wife or husband are doing or up to. Are serious, I am amazed that it seems we are headed in that direction…before you know it…communication will be completely not required and human interaction will be obsolete. Ok…Ok…yah maybe I am exaggerating a little or a lot, but I am only stating what I hear and what I see…and social networking to texting is so common now that well, who needs to talk.
Anyhow, thanks for reading my abruptly post, I just thought that was totally funny to hear that girl say that she doesn’t really talk to her guy, but mostly text…and when they are at home they just either watch TV or each our on their computers surfing the net…wow…ok.
My Perspective:
I hope that I am totally crazy and that we can somehow continue with the human interaction, you know Happy Hours, Dates, Gathering, BBQ’s…because if you can't sit with someone and simply talk to one another…then what would the relationships come to. Please remember the dates, I know many of us have gone through some bad dates, but that doesn’t mean you can still have fun and that there are actually good people out there…really.
Thanks for reading till next time Latino Man signing off.
