Why Are We So Busy…??

It is so annoying. Why are we so busy…?? Are we seriously so busy or just pretending to be one. One of my friends posted this status message on FB, “Is it the friends that i have who don't respond or is it me whom they avoid responding to…?? Reading this message and my own experiences (even now I am experiencing it and I am very sure in future also I will) got me thinking. I thought, why are we so freaking busy…?? Can’t we just reply to an SMS or a call from a dear one? I have come across people who have, the so called “Smart Phone” but they just don’t reply back. For me it’s terrible. It is sick. I do follow what I mean and make sure that I do reply to every call or an SMS even though I am busy. I guess those people really understood (or rather misunderstood) the meaning of Smart Phones, where you can use it not only to call or message but also to browse the net, update your Facebook status, write something on twitter, check out what’s new (like Google +), poke someone (obviously not literally when you are a Smart phone user). The main objective of Smart Phones and FB is to Stay Connected in addition to being physically connected and not to replace our physical connection.

Virtual World to Virtual Relationships....??

We all live in this connected or linking world of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and so on. An author by name Daniel Goleman has written a book titled, “Social Intelligence: The New Science of Social Relationships” In that book, he has explained all about social relationships and how today’s social networking has impacted our lives. I have not read his book, but got to know through an interview on TV. I want to focus mainly on the impact of FB on all of us as I use it regularly. I don’t use Google+ and rarely use twitter, so it’s better not to comment on things which I don’t use it.
