I was just wondering that with all the technology around us and so called social networks and mobiles, and tablets everyone has become so approachable, or rather vulnerable, people know about each and every second of your life, so when you actually feel like talking to them, there's hardly anything to talk about. The attention spans are low, the quality times and conversations are just simply taking a hit. The moment someone says, guess what I did this weekend and snap comes the reply, 'Yeah I read your facebook update!' and the conversation which could have been so beautiful just dies down due to a one liner, or a bunch of pictures.
Though am not the social network kinds, you'd hardly find out anything about my life there, and I hardly talk to people about my life, but somehow I still feel that somewhere the technology is still coming in my way of having a fulfilling conversations. I may sound like a hopeless romantic, but I miss those days when conveying or talking to some distant person meant writing to them, ah! that sweet eager time spent waiting for the reply, but alas! now my each and every action since the time I wake up to sleep is known, and there's nothing left to share.
Guess I've had enough, so I want to experience my old world again. I hope that's not a crime. So here I am, taking a bow, and saying goodbye to my phone for the next as many days I can live without switching it on, and same goes for facebook and messengers, chat engines. I do hope I've not become a victim of technology and give up sooner than I expect to. So wish me luck to leave the technology behind and live my good old days once again...
