What happened to the "Good 'ol Days"?

Adrianne Washington-Clark Is this all you guys talk about is stuff? Pick up a phone, visit each other!

This cry for prehistoric ways of communication is actually a status from my aunts facebook page. After my brother and I ridiculed her for being so out of touch (even though she was on facebook herself) I started to think. Why don't we actually talk to eachother anymore. Everything sbout everyday life has become so impersonal. My friend texted me earlier to tell me to check my FB page. Why? Why didn't she just tell me what she posted on my wall instead of telling me to read my wall? I know I'm not the only one who has asked this but, "What would life be like without text messages, Myspace, Facebook,etc."?

Today Twitter (the new craze that I have yet to jump on the bandwagon for) was invaded by a hacker, that caused the "social network" (aka computer crack aka why go outside on a nice day when I can sit in front of my computer) to be out of commission. These are some of the comments from its users:

"Allison Koski, a public-relations manager in Manhattan, said she felt "completely lost" without Twitter. 'I had to Google search Twitter to find out what was going on, when normally my Twitter feed gives me all the breaking news I need,' Koski said. "

HMMM... so instead of watching the news or picking up a paper, she chooses to be informed by Twitter. Or what's even dumber about her statement is she Google searched Twitter to find out what's going on. WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST USE GOOGLE TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU NITWHIT? Or MSN? Or CNN? Oh my bad was that too many letters to remember?

Damn I just realized, I got that idiots quote from MSN. But if her dumbass knew how to type anything other than "LOL" she would have already known that Twitter was messed up for today.

Y'all, there are other ways to know what your own best friend is doing for today, like oh I don't know, ASKING THEM! I shouldn't have to read my mother's status to know whats for dinner tonight (FYI: my mom doesn't have an account with any of those sites...and I'm happy about it too).
