SOCIAL MEDIA VENN DIAGRAM

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that blogging wasn’t on this.

    So…….social intercourse consists totally of narcissism, ADHD, and stalking? Is that all there is? Is that as good as it gets? If so, just shoot me now!

    Social MEDIA Slyder. Social MEDIA.

    There’s a difference between that and social intercourse. Social intercourse is you and me talking to each other. Social media is . . . well. . . me seeking an audience for my idiotic {and pretty much worthless} thoughts via a blog or other social networking tool.

    But if you still don’t get it then please, go ahead and shoot yourself.

    Yes, Scott, I understand. But lately if social intercourse isn’t via social media, it doesn’t count! Or so I am told by co-workers, friends, perfect strangers, and even tricks! I find too that friends who are heavily into twitter or facebook or whatever, no longer have time to answer their phones, send e-mails, respond to blogs, write letters, or speak ftf. The medium is the message I guess. The history of our era is written in electrons which have a half-life of about a week-and-a-half on software and hardware and cloudware that will be obsolete before six weeks are up. Nobody makes plans anymore. Social activities are on the fly and everyone is waiting until the last minute to see if something better comes along. That isn’t living, it is reacting.

    And another thing…….Scott, your thoughts are not worthless. You have an informed point of view that is always worth reading. Particularly your common sense approach to military affairs. You’ve been there and done that. Your insight is worth more than that of a dozen chickenhawks! And the boys are easy on the eyes. Your advertisers are always of interest.

    OMG Slyder, that’s exactly how “the kids” these days think! “If social discourse isn’t via social media, it doesn’t count.” I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve found that to be true. . .and truly annoying. Although my father views email much the same way. If he can’t put it down on bond paper, address an envelope and stick a stamp on it then it doesn’t count as human intercourse — unless of course he’s speaking face to face to someone.

    Or fucking them.

    Well, Youtube will soon merge with Twitter and Facebook, and the new service will be called YouTwitFace.
