To Tweet, or not to Tweet...That is the question! | riversled's Blog

 

I was thinking about the interactions that happen today with Facebook, Twitter, and Texting etc. I look at my young 20 something cousin and his wife posting on Facebook, “I lost my cell phone…I think I will go crazy”. Then the next post two minutes later is, “I found it”. I know there is a place for this technology and I recognize the value of blogs. However, I can’t help but think that for the younger generations, the “streaming” thought process isn’t very healthy. There is a place in our relationships for some “censored” thought before we speak. “Free Association” is useful in the therapist’s office, but I’m not sure many professionals would suggest you live your life that way. Even with my daughter, she invited some friends over to watch a movie and when I walked in the room, there were six or seven kids all texting on their phones, obviously to other kids.   Anyone have thoughts or insight on this?
