Back when I was young, there was no internet around. There was no such thing as social networking online back in the old days when I was a young teenager. To get validation and to socialize, we had to do that at school either that or go outside to make friends. That’s how it was in the old days but when these smart phones and Iphones started coming out, that’s when peoples lives started to change. These days people are getting their validation in social networking like FB, twitter, instagram, snapchat, etc. Where ever they do that stuff from. These days people have to bring their phones every where they go. It seems like their life is on social networking 24/7… they can’t stay away from it.

It’s a good thing that I don’t own a smart phone or a cell phone. I’m not really good with that stuff anyways and I would want to have my privacy everywhere I go. Sometimes I would bring my Ipod Touch to public places that has Free Wi-Fi but that’s about it, though. I don’t do Smart Phones or Iphones (not sure if the two are the same thing) and I don’t do text messaging either. Everybody’s doing Apple “text messaging” and I’m probably one of the very few who doesn’t do text messaging at all.

If someone wants to get a hold of me then I’m just an e-mail away or get a hold of me in FB if you’re on there. Everybody wants me to jump on the “text messaging” bandwagon but I won’t do it. I think being on social networking everywhere you go is kind of lame. I just want my privacy and to enjoy life.

The companies that make these gadgets wants you distracted from life on purpose ’cause that’s how they make their money, I guess. That’s what they keep you addicted for.
