Where is this Society of PC addicts going socially........ read below?

Question

Hell-low people. What ever happened to the good old days when people would actually talk to each other face to face and strike up a good friendship. It seems like people are constantly going beyond their means to live life through a computer terminal. Online dating and friendship sites. It seems so abnormal. Pretty soon we will all be robots! LMAO. I bet sociologists will be writing much about us and all of technological capabilities and how impersonal our society has become.

Answer 1

the other issue here and actually a counter-argument; is that the PC communicators are actually working within a larger social network and are actually advancing the amount of and diversity of the connections within their social network.
most of these links are weak links. but it has been shown that through our weak links we have the best chance of getting ahead in this post-industrialized world we are living in.

Answer 2

Your analysis about the topic is an excellent one.
The real objective of this PC addiction is to turn us into useful idiots that can be easily manipulated. This increasing trend is caused by the Individualization of the Human Being, which is created by Marketing Experts and Human Behavior Engineers in order to confuse us. Their practices are similar to those used by the predators at hunt, they isolate us from the rest so to make us fragile.

We, human beings, are social by nature. We have evolved into what we are today, because we've lived in communities. A community protects us, guides us and prepare us for the world. That's why if they keep us isolated from the rest of the community, they can turn us into Robots programmed to do whatever the system wants

Answer 3

I fail to see how the trend of interpersonal communication through technology slowly replacing that of face to face encounters has anything to do with Political Correctness. It seems a very popular thing to do these days (and really for about the last decade) to blame nearly any perceived societal ill on the PC crowd. Hell, I'm not even sure a PC crowd really exists, in the way I see the term tossed around, anyway. They really get blamed for some crazy things though, stuff one group of people probably can't possibly be responsible for.

But communication has always leaned towards its own outer boundaries. Most ancient societies, up to today's modern societies, went to great lengths to establish quick communication over long distances. Matchmakers have been setting people up for years and years and years, so it only makes sense that some enterprising people are going to take advantage of technology to aid their efforts.

But if people are meeting over the Internet, so what? Who the hell are you to tell them they are pathetic, or can't be happy, or that something is not right about them or their relationship, just because of the way they met. That kind of forcible classification process is exactly the same kind of thing that PC gets blamed for doing.

Answer 4

Friendships start with you and if you don't like the computer sites, then move on and meet real people.

Answer 5

And they will not believe that humankind was once against love between same sex couples and the fight against the right to marry.
also lighting up tobacco sticks and breathing in smoke... man were people stupid in the 21st century.

Answer 6

AN EXCELLENT ANALYSIS. INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST AND THE ABILITY OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO OPENLY SOCIALIZE AND EFFECTIELY COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER IS A RAPIDLY DIMINISHING SOCIAL SKILL.


GOD BLESS
