Get over it sister, walk out the front door and just talk to people. Meeting people online only serves in developing pseudo relationships with strangers who 9 times out of 10 aren t even who they say there are. You re online, you re chatting up some girl who says that she s in high school, a cheerleader, and looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt. So you think, Sweet, my dream girl. The internet allows people to take on whatever persona they see fit that day.
Technology is a frightening thing, and something that has come to dominate our lives.
While conducting an evaluation of internet sites for a class last week, I found that reading a paragraph, that s ONE paragraph, in a book source, I learned more about my topic than in three hours of visiting various websites. Any goon can have a website and post whatever their little heart desires, and many people find this to be a credible source of information. Hell, if you ve got a laptop, you could feasibly stay in bed all day, providing that you ve ordered a bedpan from your hospital supply website of choice. Call me crazy, but this is in no way appealing. It s all about instant gratification, yet again.
