My Imaginary Roommates
My roommates need to read "Tangled in the Web." In my kitchen, Pablo battles for his Castle Age guild; in the living room, Norman watches The Shawshank Redemption on his laptop; and in my room, Bryan enjoys his new Netflix membership alone. It's almost as if they do not exist half of the time. I cannot help but think that they might be going down the same road as the anonymous author did. When people spend more time on their computer than with others face-to-face, their social priorities get flipped backward. Even worse, their social skills may suffer. Although the anonymous author's social skills did not suffer, in the case of my roommates, it is quite likely.

I feel like you are right. However, I also believe that a person can lose more than their social life by living too much in the virtual world.
ReplyDeleteI've definitely been there. I used to look forward to going home to chat with my friends online. It got to the point where I would have all these great conversations online, but I was super awkward talking to people face-to-face.
