It’s funny how despite having at our disposal various mediums of communication - Facebook, YM, Twitter, email, text – these modern communication tools, while great for keeping in touch with family and friends, can also prevent us from truly expressing what we want to say, when we want to say it. The ability to “edit” out what we really want to say often leaves us without saying much of anything at all, just a bunch of nothings, really.
Here’s a cute (and kind of sad) Youtube video reminding us not to succumb to our inhibitions and to basically just spit it out.
Has social media killed our capacity for genuine human interaction? Is this what “communication” has come down to? A series of backspaces and editing and re-editing until the end result is a sad empty one-word message?
