Note: While I was going through my admin panel, I came upon this post, which had apparently been saved as a draft as far back as Aug. 15, 2010. I guess I had begun writing an entry, but for some reason never got around to finishing it up. As you can see, I had only written a paragraph before something (perhaps it was time to go to the Lord’s table meeting since the 15th is a Lord’s Day) called me away, after which I subsequently completely forgot about the post.
Although this entry is most likely not complete, I’ll let it stand as is, simply because to append something on half a year later would be somewhat anachronistic (although I don’t know if that’s the best word to use here). In other words, what I would write now stems from thoughts, feelings, and experiences that I did not have half a year ago, and thus, there would be a disconnect in the sentiment of the first paragraph from that of the additional content.
But, that’s lengthy enough of a preface. At this point, I present to you what I now entitle…
“Social Media Junkies” – Aug. 15, 2010
You don’t realize how dependent we are on social media in our interactions with one another (especially if you don’t see them face to face on a regular basis) and how much it has been woven into society, to the extent that our consciousness of others’ existence is almost dependent upon it, until someone removes their electronic footprints. That has the eery effect of making you question whether they existed in the first place, or whether you’re a latent schizophrenic.
