The Most Ironic (And useful) Post Evorz

Digivice (GTFO Digimon) : Digitial Social Advice

X : Heyyyy baby
Y : Heyyyy sexyyy
X: Na ah yooooou sexy
Y : Hehehe nooooo you are

Apart from the poor grammar and decline in salient conversation, the above conversation is utter nonsense. The gist of one of the digital era’s many social detriments is the decline of good conversation : everyone can type text and send it at rapid speed. Some gormless idiots take advantage of this powerful tool and use it for spam, and the sending of useless messages that in no way enrich our lives.

But, I digress, the point I shall address here is a very valuable piece of advice given to me by a wise soul : nothing online is real.

Take x and y for example. If X and Y go out, chances are he won’t really call her sexy. Conversation could flow comparatively less, and this pseudo-electro-chemistry that exists online could dissipate in lieu of tangible meetings. Fortunately, I haven’t personally experienced this – but I do have friends and a vivid imagination who tell me how plausible it is.

Apart from virtual humdrum, there’s the factor of statuses and responding to virtual stimuli. Let’s say someone you’ve been seeing has a status up about another girl. Is there evidence that he’s actually been OUT with her? People can cajole, flirt or fight online : but all that’s left are black splotches against the background of a screen. The truth of a matter is manifest in the world of the living, where breath for breath the compatibility of two social entities may be weighed fairly. Nothing online is real – spending hours chatting to someone on bbm counts for naught if you meet the next day and don’t really know what to say to each other. Seeing a guy fawn over someone on Facebook but spending most of his time with you renders all online tidings null and void.

We, as a society, should step back from our high speed connections and connect with touch. (This blog post does not condone rape.)
What I’m trying to say is… don’t let something you see on a screen affect your emotional balance. Don’t let words online upset you. Transposing the digital to the emotional is as warped as Crash Bandicoot 3 (man I miss that guy).

OMG THE IRONY OF A BLOG POST ABOUT NOTHING ONLINE BEING REAL OOHHHHHH THE LOLZ
