My First Post Ever
This will be the first of (hopefully) many blogs that I post. I have been using the internet for quite a long time, and have been a part of countless online communities, but I found that most of the time they are nothing more than a popularity contest. I tried using the facebook site and that has turned into one huge clusterfuck. They have so many new applications that everyone is using that it is hard to see what the hell is going on in your own page. Myspace is going the same route. I hate how when I go and look at peoples myspaces some of the pages take three hours to load because of all the damn pictures and videos and songs that they have playing at the same time. I hated getting friend requests from robot prostitutes that never wished you happy birthday. I hated when your friends would come up to you in person and ask jokingly ” How come I am not on your top 8? ” You would laugh and shrugg it off, but deep inside you knew they resented you for not putting them of all people on your top 8 on myspace. We live in a world where human interaction does not need to go any further than a simple e-smile =]. I bet in 5 years you could get away with sending your wife the following for your anniversary. ( Happy A-Vers Hun. I <3 U! LOLZ =]. ) Paste that into here comment box on myspace and see what she says.
I suppose that there will come a day when even this site will become a huge electronic waste dump full of over-played you tube videos and pirated music. At that point, I will have to move on to somewhere else. But in the meantime. Enjoy. -Lev

I've written a number of times about what has become conventional wisdom – spread primarily by academics like Jonathan Haidt – that phones and/or social media are evil, and that they cause teenagers in particular to develop anxiety, depression, etc. and th...

If you missed it. I already described day one. Caffeinated and ready, we all gathered in the same spacious room as yesterday, but seated in new places as “suggested” by our captain. Some of us even remembered to move over the name tags we wrote yesterday t...
