I cant stand it anymore. The wise old people are again and again full of fear about the internet. Look what Jackie writes in Guardian magazine:
When it comes to complicated issues, we also need time and space. Not everything can be whittled down to text messages. We are living in a world of fact boxes, ever shorter sentences and flatter, simpler statements; and I wonder if we can begin to resolve some of these complex challenges this way. I'm obviously not alone. It's been pointed out that the public appetite for live debates and lectures is growing fast; from book festivals to local protest meetings, there seems to be a celebration of direct contact that's going in the opposite direction to Facebook-ism.
I never think about internet as a something what replaces my real life. I can’t even physically sit longer than two hours in front of computer. If it takes more time my head goes dizzy and I am close to faint. I need to get out of room and get some fresh air.
This article was even recently published in Polish most popular daily newspaper (“Gazeta Wyborcza”). Facebook, messengers, blogs are all about communication with other people for me. Short messages are about stimulating an action in real life. If I spot and very simple statement on website I always want to go more into it, find a book about it, discuss it with someone (not with robot).
All the friends I managed to collect on my facebook list I met FIRST in real life. And my Polish social networking site serves me very well as a platform to meet with guys I usually drink a beer with when I visit my home city Lublin : )
