fuzmeister: Post #805
So I've been on this site on and off for almost nine and a half years. Relative to the entire lifespan of the internet, that's quite a while!
I was just rereading some old entries from years ago and a lot of stuff has changed. I like reading bits where I talk about my now-wife in girlfriend terms. I also like seeing how my ambitions have changed and certain, older ones have withered and died.
I was just commenting this morning to a co-worker how I'd like to see a study done that measures the psychological health effects of people who are entrenched in a lifestyle of constantly using technology (AKA everyone this day in age).
I think that why I quit Facebook. I think after six years of using their site, they had me roped in psychologically. I would feel an almost primal urge to check the site anytime I opened a new browser window. Why? Conditioning probably. Who knows? I'm not saying it isn't good for some people, just not for me.
Anyway, I like Ventilation. I think microblogging (like twitter) and social networking sites have all but killed the activity around here over the past two or three years. It's ok - I'll still be here when you all get back.
Mood: Intrigued and Slightly Nostalgic
Music: Florence + The Machine - Breaking Down
Tags (beta): vent, philosophy, life in the so called space age
