People used to make jokes about me because I was on my computer all day. This was back before it was big, when people just used it for AIM instant messenger. I never understood how they could not be amazed by it. I'd imagine how amazing it would be if computers could be faster, portable, wireless.. how much could be possible. Now all those people are on Facebook and have their phones glued to their eyes. I still use computers and devices a lot, but having spent so many hours lost in cyberspace I have a certain dislike for using computers without getting some value back. I also find staring at screens in the middle of conversations to be annoying, while most of these people don't have a problem with it. It's a weird irony. I kind of hate it too, especially all the misinformation that spreads nowadays
