The internet is such a great thing! It gives you so much information at your fingertips. Helping my kids with homework is a totally different thing than it used to be when I was a kid. The internet also gets you the opportunity to connect and reconnect with people that you normally wouldn't get to contact.
I have found that the internet also gives people the opportunity to hide behind the impersonal. There are so many times that I receive a message online, email, or text and I wish that I could just talk to that person by phone or in person. I am craving the personal in an impersonal world.
Because of that I've decided to take a break from online social networking sites. I have decided to continue the blog because no one reads it...and it feels more like a journal to myself than a form of online communication. When I get the urge to contact someone, I'm going to make a phone call and see if I can start the chain of personal contact that I crave and see if it will come back to me...
