Dangers of Social Networking & Technology
As technology pervades closer and closer into every task we do we are increasingly connected in a disconnected way to the people around us. Today I received this interesting little list and thought it good enough to share:
You know you are living in 2010 when…
1. Realising you accidentally enter your PIN/ password on the microwave
2. Artificial – You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years
3. Phone numbers – You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3
4. Instant Messaging – You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you
5. Detached – Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses
6. Busy – You pull up at home after shopping and use your mobile to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries
7. Information – Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile : )
12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list
16. You took the time to tell people about this post by twitter
17. …. then Facebook
18. and finally plan to email this to work colleagues when you go back to the office on Monday
AND NOW U R LAUGHING AT YOURSELF
Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to….
