On seeing this I almost freaked out that you were about to reveal that recent remotes now can switch the channel and at the same time turn a wife's mouth off

It feels like people no longer talk.The appeal to simply share your life with others and vice versa seems lost in this abundance of communication mediums.Screens are becoming barriers instead of ways of reaching out.

THE paradox.

Dumbed down individuals who would rather send a text or 'update' a 'wall' than speak to and hear each other.

While the remote has its share of destruction, social media is king. Tweeps, facebook-holics, whatsapp. You name it. Whats app has especially gained immense popularity for its ability to offer real-time sharing of pictures and videos.

On some level it also extends to face to face interactions.

@Muriel - Dumbed down?

Granted that some folks find immense value in both TV and Facebook, I have personally decided to get by without them. I do not see what net positive value either would add in my personal or professional life as it currently exists.

TV

To be fair, TV is not without good content. I often go to YouTube to find anything particularly important that I might have missed, mainly interesting interviews or short programs. I just don't see the value of having the thing in my living room chattering nonsense 90% of the time. True, I could turn it off when the nonsense begins, but my idea of nonsense and that of other members of my household will seldom be the same - ask Washiku.

I say maybe one day when I have a spare room in my house I will buy a TV and set up some sort of media room, but I have no plans, at present, of installing one in my living room.

Facebook

Now Facebook is a such a phenomenal force it is hard to ignore. I joined it, I think in 2009, and operated my account semi-actively for about a year. Then almost without thinking about it, I found myself logging in less and less. It's like my brain just wasn't seeing the value in keeping abreast with all the intricate details of my friend's lives. In mid 2011, I made the rather easy decision to permanently delete my account. I haven't missed it since.

Of course there are people (and organizations) that benefit immensely from operating Facebook accounts. But if my account is for getting notified when my former kindergarten classmate misses her manicure appointment, wacha ikae.

But I digress!

smile Laughing out loudly You see people in social events struggling to take photos instead of enjoying themselves, all so that they can later upload and prove to their peers how well they are 'balling' and how much fun they are having, like it's some sort of competition.
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
