Hey hey everyone... your following eric hogenkamp and this indeed is my 3rd blog.. Connecting in today’s world.
In today's world, it seems that the only way that people don't talk is through the action of talking itself. People talk through email, text, fax, facebook, phone, and now when you’re getting really lazy but want to pretend like you’re talking to someone, you can facetime/chat someone. Due to the new advancements in technology, people are far too busy to actually talk to people in person, but they like to substitute there actual time that they can't spare through a simple text, or a "poke" on facebook. But there are also a lot of positives with the way people are connecting in today's society, like when families that live far away can see and talk to their loved ones on a regular basis, and when businessman can do work from their phones... %#$!!! I read my assignment note book wrong.. connection* ahhhh ok well we see "exist" in our society in the way that people believe that they can achieve anything they set their minds to with the individualistic mind sets that some people have. With the economy being in a bad state right now, we are seeing people thoroughly look over the decisions that they are making and are following through with those decisions like existentialists. People also are thinking more about themselves and trying to get ahead. Like woman who have given up the role of housewives and have started building their own careers and having homes of their own instead of relying on their husbands to support them.
Eric- I find it interesting that you use the word "substitute" for some of are means of ocmmunication. This adds to the notion of how genuine these means are. Don't worry about the technology tangent...it relates. However, I had a hard time following you once you switched gears.
