Social Media

Social media as defined by Wikipedia: media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable communication techniques. Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue.

Erm... Yes and No.

Social media is good for people who don't get to see each other often but detrimental to people who do. Coz it takes time away from real time interaction.

Before I had the chance to stay connected 24/7, that is, to own a smart phone with data plan, I found the use of smartphones highly annoying.

Since getting my hands on one (courtesy of Robin Chan as my bday gift. The HTC Desire S), I've been on it any chance I have.
So much so there came a time when my LoveChan regretted giving me a smartphone.
=.=

I'd set up my twitter account in 2007. I've only started tweeting like last week.

I find myself constantly checking facebook, twitter and whatever updates I have access to. Practically staying online like 3/4 of my day and that's CRAZY.

Seriously.

I'd like to attribute this sickening behaviour I so earnestly loathe before I had my smartphone to the mere novelty of having owned one.

It's only been 2 months.

And no, I don't think much of the games. Yes, no angry birds for me. I hate that game. it's not even fun. I'd rather play chess all day.
