Lets be real. In one way or another, everyone has one, and in turn, everyone is one. I showed that first line to three of my friends, and everyone nodded in agreement. This is our society, we are a community of creepy individuals, with our facebooks, twitters, smart phones, you name it, (I never go anywhere without at least two pieces of high-tech gadgetry) we are so "connected" but in reality, all I feel is a dramatic lack of connection. No, this isn't an emo "no one understands me" kind of moment, merely an observation. Take this morning for instance, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I meet with the greatest group of people on campus, MGoC, you've probably heard of us, we're big in the union. As I was saying, I met with my MGoC'ers and immediately, three out of the four of us pulled out our computers and two of us pulled in one headphone and proceeded to listen to music, get on Facebook, googling, and pinning things. And this isn't an attack by any means, I was most certainly one of those people both on their computer and listening to music. Its just an observation, when did this happen? When did we become these people who cant sit still without an IV of internet and a double dose of smart phone? And this is something I really don't have an answer to, I don't even know if its necessarily a bad thing, our generation grew up with this awesome internet thing, and we, like it have grown bigger and stronger. To go completely out of my comfort zone and into the realms of science, a symbiotic relationship, if you will, we need each other do thrive. At least, thats how I feel especially after my google drought.
I think I've come to a pleasing place mentally and will close this blog with a series of boop. I realize that the title really doesn't reflect the blog at all anymore but oh well, not changing it.
BOOPS!!!
