I love Sundays :)
Sooo.... I've been thinking a lot about modern society. We spend so much time ding things that matter so little. We obsess over things that make no difference at all in the long run. So much of it is a waste of time, there are 12 million things that we could be doing with our time that are more productive for everyone. Also, I was thinking about how we're never alone. I can be reached at any time during my day, Facebook, cell phones ect ect. Im in constant contact with the world. People are never really apart because there is always a way to be talking to people. How little time we spend to take a step back and just be alone, solitary for a time. If we did spend some time by ourselves would we be able to handle it? Would we go crazy by simply being in our own minds? Just have to say, digging this class with all of you and I had fun reading all of your poems (those of you who remembered them *cough*)

It's interesting that you make the comment about always being "connected" Laura... It seems to me that we make ourselves think we are connected with technology, but sometimes those artificial connections in fact disconnect us from legitimate relationships and conversations. Just an observation.
ReplyDeleteSo when I went to camp I didn't bring my phone or my ipod...it was strange being disconnected. Well, not totally disconnected because I was (of course) surrounded by people. But still it was almost relieving knowing you didn't have to check your phone or text back. Now I sometimes purposely don't refill my minutes for a couple days after they run out...it's almost nicer, more simplistic.
