Little boxes..

I've recently started to notice that facebook is slowly becoming more of a "fill out this questioner for ads to be tailored for you!" than a means of communication. But I also think most of the internet is like that.

We're basically turning into a generation of people who would rather stare at a screen and 'like' a friend's comment than walk down the street to talk in person. Or spend time in a room full of people while everyone stares at their phones. Then fill in little boxes which make up our lives.

And we wonder why our lives aren't exciting.

Interestingly enough though, the more technology grows the more I've noticed people slowly turning against it. For all of the kindles, it's just not the same as reading a book. And no matter how many songs itunes sells (or piratebay..) it's not the same as going to a concert (and god forbid, not just watching it on youtube.) I've slowly gotten bored of the idea of ebay and twitter.
