Now It's My Turn

This feels like the old days of blogs when Don Bernstein would start us off with a story line and we would each move the story forward one day at a time.

 

Now I’m picking up from Rona’s blog picking up from Fred’s blog.

 

To Rona’s point that it is too easy to respond by text, social media or what have you.  It is. 

 

But what gets me are the social media conversations.  Do you know people who can talk to each other through Facebook about things they wouldn’t’ say to each other in person?  Have you seen those Facebook pages where half the time is spent picking on someone else’s comments – and then picking on the people who picked on the comments? No thank you.

 

I would like to put all of those people together in a room and force them to take some listening lessons – or a lesson from one of my curly girl Facebook groups where every post tells some other curly girl that her hair looks fantastic and she is a beautiful person.

Social media has become the gossip and political means to spread whatever the agenda is. Texting has become the person to person communication vessel that took the place of a phone call.

I take full advantage of my ability to scroll on by negativity or meanness and totally exercise my delete button. And I love the phone - I prefer it to zoom for really conversations because we have to listen and there are no distractions.

This is sadly so true. I myself am guilty of spending wasted time scrolling, but lately have resorted more to the silly videos that me me smile, and sometimes even laugh uproariously!
