The fact that I just deleted my Myspace and Facebook and that it was such a relieving thing for me definitely proves how technology centric our generation, or even our society, is. A place for friends? More like "friends." A little thumbnail of a person's perfectly planned picture within a list that can be found spanning between such a small number as 10 to 10 million. So these "friends" do not truly follow the rules of friendship that we all know exist, but are merely accomplices in our main goal of being viewed as cool or popular in our peers' eyes (you can deny it, but we all know it is true). It is sickening beyond belief, and I have always known this, yet participated in the mindless activity regardless. Why, you ask? Trust me, I have asked myself the same question countless times. And I have been pondering the answer to this really obvious inquiry all day, and have come to the conclusion that I am, in every sense, just your average, generic teenager. This is really quite sad at one angle, but then just completely natural when it comes down to it. Some could even say it is harmonious and beautiful but I wouldn't go that far. It's more hilarious than anything.
