Mr. Smith- i didn't do this blog earlier because i am a space head

any who here's what i owe you

A "new" water in my life is the effects of artificial reality and the disconnect from face to face social experiences. Now i'm not saying its not their in our lives, but it is dramatically less than how the whole world used to be. Back in the day lets say 200 hundred years ago their were social forums where people used to converse, meet up, and even trade, but as that had evolved civilization created technology which became the start of a lot of new water. If i want to have fun with my friends- we dont go outside and everything seems artificial. the only options you really have is video games, computers, and tv. there seems to be a screen between all interaction now. plays are now movies, txt screens become the face of your friends when you converse, and playing a game of pick up basketball turned into halo on xbox with a mic as your only connection to your friends.

Navigation through this water is hard since hoping on the band wagon and giving into how interaction works now a days. I highly enjoy my time with friends conversing and interacting, but it just feels weird not being able to see the person as an individual interating with you. communication is just what you say or how you say it, it's your expressions, body language, and being without the option of turning your friends "off" through what ever screen your using.

the american values that i embrace is equality (like everyone is really equal lol), freedom (not like we're that free but at least we're better off than everyone else), majority rule (society gets what it wants wheather minorities do or dont.....basically i dont care if im against the majority only because i know life goes on). I have my own set of values and they are all inherreted by individual situations, but i always accept new insight from wise people that know how to give it. Im content with living my own life by my rules until i die---thats how i find my happiness----doing things my way while accepting new ideas to add to my repitoire.
