Are we over stimulated?
I'm not really sure if we are still in the "technology age" but I feel like everyday is a constant grind with 1,000 modes of communication. I have a myspace account, facebook account, iPhone, twitter, text messaging capabilities, e-mail (3 accounts and running) and I have a house phone. Yes, I have a house phone. Don't you miss having one?
Anyway, I feel like I can't even go to the beach without feeling panic if I haven't checked my facebook account. On more than one occasion, I have been driving somewhere and I have turned around to get my cell phone from the house. Do people actually get angry with you if you do not respond to a text message within 30 minutes? I have.
I think that since we have more ways of communicating with one another, it actually tends to hinder our friendships with others. Since we have all of these methods of communication, it makes people very lazy. I harken back to simpler times (a great beer at Trader Joe's...) when we had home phones, call waiting and answering machines. In the past, people checked their messages! People waited for phone calls! And people even committed to plans and showed up for things. In today's society, it is common for people to call or text 5 minutes prior to the planned event and not show up.
I do not believe there is a remedy to this, but all I can say is check your messages and communicate! And, when you are at an event with a friend or out to dinner, put the crackberry or the iPhone down.

My Journey Through Law School
Ok! So since I am pretty much missing in action now that school has started in my second year, I decided to create a blog. I will post updates on the day-to-date along with things that I find humorous. I hope you all enjoy! :)
