Connected

Ok, so I know I am so behind, but I don't know what Twitter is, really. I know it's some form of social networking. The more I am finding out about it, the more it sounds like texting. I don't know. I am starting to wonder if all of this virtual "connections" are real connections. Are we losing touch of true friendship by maintaining computer land friends? I am starting to think that all of this social networking is great for people that don't want long lasting, deep friendships. It's a great way to be in touch with many people at once, but is there a cost? Are we losing a part of our social skills? I know that some may say that I am making a big deal out of nothing, but I wonder how many of these computer addicting applications are going to come out. I feel like Wall-E has really struck a chord with me that I didn't know it had. Maybe we could end up looking at screens all day and miss sight of something real.
