World Wide Web

When I was young, lets say around Reese's age, I remember seeing this thing showing a mom working in the kitchen talking to a loved one, who lived on the other side of the world, on a screen, like a TV.  To say I was fascinated is an understatement.  As the years went on things progressed to this being a reality.

Obviously, I often take full advantage of this "new" world I live in.  I am just not sure what to think about it some times .  We have gotten away from face to face or for the matter even ear to ear conversation.  Don't get me wrong, unfortunately I think I like it better this way.  It is so much easier to just send a quick text.  But one key element gets lost - emotion.  So, therefor we I do what I can to express my tone with what appears to be a face or exclamation marks and what ever else I can come up with to let the device on the other end show what I am meaning. 

Last night I posted pictures of my family on FB.  As I was laying in bed reflecting on the day I was pleased with the snap shots that my mind captured.  Until I came to posting the pictures.  Why you may be thinking.  I have posted hundreds of pictures on FB and thru instagram.  I settled myself down by saying, really moms and grandmas have been carrying around brag book/pictures for years, it's all good that I wanted to share my beautiful family with my so called friends on FB. 

This morning when I woke up that same gnawing feeling was eating at me again.  I enjoy FB and instagram but I have some how allowed them to take over and I have to take back the emotions I have allowed them to control. 

Quite honestly I haven't even been wanting to blog for awhile now for all the same reasons.  I am however using this one to admit openly to myself just what I have been wrestling with for some time now.  I will continue to use the world wide web but I will try not to be so transparent on it any more.  Reality is I communicate with my people most often on an electronic devise.  I will not ask them to change. After all it is the way of the world.
