I thought i was a facebook addict, thats until i got onto twitter. Boy did i learn otherwise. i think the major thing with twitter is the ease and the rapid response functionality. lately i find facebook full of mxit flotsam and amateur intellects (except a few of you precious ones of cause). besides, its been burdened with too many apps and new functionality which have made it diverge from what originally lured me.
Then again, with smart-phones and their real-time reactions maybe our hunger for constant news and feedback is heightened. with the death of my samsung thing and the purchase of my BB(blackberry), the addiction has manifested itself into a insatiable behemoth. i got my twitter which is easy to update. main screen, new post, enter button and you’re done. its the ease which makes it tops! i got that interfacing into my facebook and i can track any comments my friends make. i also have my whatsapp for BB and iPhone users. i assume other android phones like HTC also accommodate whatsapp, however I’m not certain and won’t bother to research (HTC pet-hate).
yeah people, its the information age and to a certain extent we have to admit that we are slowly becoming the slaves and not the masters. narcotics have evolved into smartphones with multiple apps and interfaces. the convenience which we were sold is but the catalyst to the everlasting hunger for information, acknowledgment and interaction.
however i found that i can survive with a piece-of-shit basic phone. and that gave me some comfort. sadly had to return it for my upgraded BB and I’m back in full swing. fuck rehab!!!
