   Reflection

   I haven’t updated on here in a while, but since my last update, I met a boy that turned out to be just as much of a douche as my friends told me he would be. I should probably start listening to my friends more often. As a result, I got angry and joined a dating website only to discover that the dating pool on there is more like a puddle.

   I find it amazing how dependent society is on the Internet these days. Did you know that you can now reserve your groceries online? Pretty soon, I won’t have to leave my room. You can work from home, date from home, order food from home, pay your bills online, talk to your friends online, dial 911 online if need be, and I’m sure this list goes on. I don’t necessarily need human interaction at all as long as people continue to talk to me on here. That’s not completely true. I need it because I know what social interaction is. Future generations are the ones that won’t necessarily need it. It’s going to be very similar to the movie “Surrogates,” and let’s just hope Bruce Willis saves the day this time too.

   Anyway, this online dating thing is really strange to me. I never thought that I would do it, and now that I have, I’m slightly disappointed. I thought it was going to be this great thing, and I was going to meet so many interesting men, and I have, but in the time that I’ve joined the website, I have met just as many interesting men in public places. Also, I thought it would be great to put all of this information about me and what I want into a profile, but it eliminates the mystery which is good and bad. Good because I’m not wasting my time with guys who aren’t right for me to begin with. Bad because I feel like I’m eliminating necessary steps and judging these poor guys based on a profile or a bad picture.

   I suppose what I’m getting at is that the Internet is quite possibly evil. It is adding to this problem that people currently have with time. Nobody has any time anymore. We, as a society, are looking for convenience and anything that will shave a few minutes, hours, days, months, years off of tasks because we want results now. Listen, slow down. Enjoy life for what it is. Get off the computer tomorrow and have a real conversation with someone. Now, let’s see if I can follow my own advice.
