The other day I was at my new boyfriend's friend's house and someone said, "Facebook is going to be the medium of communication and the future of socialization". I think I blew it off as a ridiculous and completely radical idea, how could humans really convert to two dimensional relationships?
Now here I am, on my Facebook working on my virtual farm on farmville, becoming very sucked in to the whole sending gift thing. And then I realized I had been on my computer for more than two hours! It had not even seemed I had been logged on for more than 15 minuets. After all, it is an absolutely beautiful day outside today, I should be wandering the great outdoors with my friends and basking in this beautiful sunlight.
But instead I'm right here in front of my computer, communicating to the void of the Internet. Which now seems more alive then ever, with its ever growing weave of social networking. It almost seems the only way I keep in touch with my college buddies is through online facebook chat. Even texting seems to have become a thing of the past and popularity is judged by how many people posted something on your wall on your birthday. Pretty soon birthday cards are going to seem "old fashion" and unorthodox.
