With all the technology in the world to make us feel closer why is that so many times I feel so isolated? (For a second there I felt like a poor man's Carrie Bradshaw, ewww.) A while ago I was at a friends house who had no internet because she (and her roommate) didn't want it. I've never heard of such a thing. I mean the internet has made my life,(at times) worthwhile and here were two perfectly intelligent women choosing this for themselves. I liked their logic: basically they have found themselves using the internet aka facebook or e-mail whenever they got bored or lonely. It was a serious time filler and a way to suppress boredom.
Good points I thought, but nevertheless I liked using my internet for those things... just not all the time. But seriously looking at my internet use and well I do use it for that exact purpose, sure I learn a bunch and get some news and delicious recipe but honestly it's a way to make me feel more connected to others. And here comes the annoying word, balance, I've tried to make a balance of it - but so far to no avail, I like being glued to my computer, it's comfortable here. Okay, I really have no way of ending this blog post. I just been thinking of the fact that maybe I will be better off without the internet at home. I mean I'm reading three books right now and it's not becuase I'm super "smat" as some Bostonians would say, it's because I have lost the ability to concentrate on thing. I blame the internet.
