I guess it’s good that bored people in our technological society have others to talk to. It means depressed adolescents may feel more connected to others and not so alone inrepparttar world, maybe even having a positive effect on a possibly suicidal youth. But, I do feel this nonsensical chitchat is a sign of our next generation’s apathetic view of present reality in our postmodern culture. When readingrepparttar 118645 text from a supposedly religious discussion, and hearing graphic use of derogatory terminology, I really have to wonder aboutrepparttar 118646 present spiritual beliefs of my culture.

I’m a true believer ofrepparttar 118647 concept that technology is here to furtherrepparttar 118648 consciousness of humanity. Computers andrepparttar 118649 Internet can help bring all of us inrepparttar 118650 world together, thus evolving our society torepparttar 118651 next level. After looking at chat rooms, I feel there is a need to integrate more wisdom and compassion into our ‘new world’ generation. Havingrepparttar 118652 technology is great, but it is only one half ofrepparttar 118653 equation. To makerepparttar 118654 Internet work properly, I think we need to instillrepparttar 118655 same faith we have in science, into a faith that encompassesrepparttar 118656 actual creators ofrepparttar 118657 information and communication tools-humanity itself. We seem to realize that we can invent many great things, but it looks like we’re missing out onrepparttar 118658 great truth: that we ourselves are part of, and made of something great in itself: Life. (Existence!)

The huge array of smiley faces and other ‘emotional’ icons add another dimension torepparttar conversations. Some ofrepparttar 118644 smiley faces actually move (sticking their tongues out etc.) and there are many other symbols to expressrepparttar 118645 moment. E.g.: Show a little sun when it’s sunny in your neighborhood, flash a wilted rose when your love life isn’t going to well, put up a black sheep when you’re feeling disconnected from society. How about expressing your dream of a holiday by flashing uprepparttar 118646 tropical island icon when you’re stuck in dreary office working hard on a cloudy day. They say a picture speaks a thousand words…

Well I certainly don’t work for Microsoft but I guess Bill Gates and his buddies have made a few bucks because they’ve had a couple of good ideas. They’re helpingrepparttar 118647 world with their knowledge, and I reckon their MSN Messenger is another step forward in bringingrepparttar 118648 Earth together into one world. Besidesrepparttar 118649 normal email format you can also have web cam and audio conversations, as well as sending files and photos instantly. It’s as sweet as that first time you kissed your honey bunny, well maybe not that sweet.
