Why do we have iPhones, blackberrys, or any type of phone with a data plan? I think people in the corporate world need them or anyone who is working. But why us? Why college students? Why high school students? I understand the need to get ahold of someone but that's why they invented the phone in the first place. There's also something called text messaging. My main question is why do we need to know things right away (ie. Facebook statuses, wall posts, etc.)? I know I'm guilty of wanting to know but is it really necessary? I think I'd be content not knowing. I have gone a few days without checking Facebook and it didn't bother me once. Why can't we just go out and have fun with no interruptions like we used to?
I understand that we get bored a lot and that's why we go on it. But what if we found another way to be productive? Go outside, read a book, find something that interests you/educational on the internet, etc. Maybe our world would be just a little bit smarter.
I think we all need to step back and have fun with the people we're with. Go one day without using a cellphone except for calling and receiving calls. Turn off all the Twitter and Facebook mobile and see what happens. I know it'll be hard for me because my phone is surgically attached to me, but I think this is a good challenge to see whether or not you can just concentrate on one thing/person at a time.
