I'm socially dependent..

I'm sitting her surrounded my laptop, my blackberries, my ipod, my television and I feel secure. The planets feel aligned and my world appears to be calm. Then I realized that these objects have made up too much of who I am. If I leave the house without one or the other I'll feel lost, or incomplete. I'm not anti social or anything, and I can, and do leave some of them behind (I had to exaggerate to get the point across), but I wonder what will our society be years down the road. Is human contact no longer satisfactory to entertainment? Can we talk without "LOL" or "LMAO"? I'm a product of my generation, through and through, but I hate to think about what life would be like when everything we need comes with a battery and an adapter? Maybe life will just be put on hold while we recharge our personalities.

wow you're completely right. it's kind of crazy. it's like human to human contact becomes more minimal as life goes on. which is kind of bad. we've forgotten how to communicate from one person to the other without a piece of technology as the middle man.

I actually stumbled upon this post Googling due to my recent grounding (I'm 17) I'm socially dependent but the otherway around! IPod touch, tumor touch and a LG optimistic I should feel connected! But I need REAL people o.o love that recharge our personalities line though, I do beloved its Facebook worthy :D
