Thats because the "maturity" of a 24 year old now days, is the same as a 16 year old. trust me i know, alot of them work with me. and yes they ARE immature and annoying.

What is even scarier is the destination this tuned out generation is being guided to. They're learning not to even question...

The blank stare I was given by my nephew when I asked him how many of his 300+ facebook friends he'd actually met explains it all.
When laws allow unlimited ownership of ideas, it is to a society as iron fusion is to the core of a star.
When verified realities lead us to anger, we must learn to reevaluate our beliefs.

Well that's just silly but Twitter is one of the greatest innovations of the last decade and it has CHANGED this world. Everyone who disagrees does not use it correctly or only follow idiots who post what they are eating for lunch.

i dont use twitter simply because i want random strangers stalking me or knowing personal things in my life.as for facebook people seem to go nuts and add a bunch of random people.i personally have about 50 on facebook about 40 of them are my relatives and the rest people from the high school i went to.

And the jury's still out on whether the change is ultimately good or bad. I'm not so quick to jump on the bandwagon.

You mean there are other idiots I could follow?? ;-P
Can't say Twitter does much more for me than Facebook. Every online entity that I pay attention to has a real RSS feed, so Twitter has always seemed horribly anemic by comparison. But that's probably just me.

Yes, you should appreciate life offline. Unfortunately for my generation they'll never get to truly experience such.
