I will break up with you via a text message
Honestly, questions like this one and this one make me wonder: how many times can we re-visit the re-definition of connection that comes with technology?
These instrospections never delve into the question of how differently we interact in varied media. Like, am I more likely to start a fight on the internet? Hell yes (seriously, check every message board and list-serv I’ve ever been on). Why? Because I feel less connected or more connected? I honestly don’t know. Is it because I feel safe? Do the insults people hurl at me feel less real?
And, is different necessarily bad?
