I engaged in conversation with a good friend the other day who I haven’t seen in quite a long time. A few short minutes into the conversation, she asked about my granddaughter, Coco — and as a proud Nana, I immediately told her to visit here where she could see plenty of photos.
The silence was uncomfortable and as she started to explain, I don’t think I had ever felt as much distance between us as I did in that moment. Basically, her thought is that everyone using the Internet — for work or pleasure — is sucked into this dark hole of addiction.
I’m not naive enough to think that there isn’t anyone on the planet using Facebook as their primary ‘go to’ for social interaction. Some do, and some live to play those goofy games and hit the site 100 times a day. The Internet makes other things easier to get and easier to do too. And, some of these things are undeniably destructive. But that’s not an Internet addiction… the Internet is simply the tool used to facilitate a problem that’s already there. At least that’s my opinion.
If I’m wrong, (and I certainly have been plenty of times before now), here’s today’s photo for all you visiting addicts…
