Is it just me...
Is it just me or is life getting so far out there that people just can't seem to notice what is going on anymore?
I look around and I honestly don't see anyone doing the same.
People, to me just seem to be so wrapped up in their 'devices' now a days that they could not tell you the color of the sky. I don't know about you but there seems to be a slow decaying dis-connect with reality all around me.
I used to think that friends were made face to face, now it seems to be a race for the grand total thumbs-up and like me that is the new norm.
I will never understand how somebody can boast of having 100's or maybe even 1000's of friends and never even had the luxury of even meeting them.
Maybe it is just me

I get it friend. I really see it happen. You now, time move to fast for people who not ready. And ita change anything.
Time has change, and so the human.
Now is the time where likes more valuable than smile and shaking hand.
Shaking hand and smile is something to got more likes. Sometimes i dont understand, what make peoples so addict with this thing.
But when i thing about it, almost imposible to stop this.
People love something not real much more than aomething real they already have. Like face to face talk.
Sometime i wonder, if internet collapse one day, will it effect to much for somepleople? Would that be a disaster that can bring us to an extinction.
Good post btw.
Thank you. It is still nice to know that some people, yourself included can still 'stop to smell the roses.'
Thank you for replying my comment. Nice to see you friend.
Welcome Hummer! Hang in there. Have you ever heard of dunbar's number? Its a theorized number , a limit to how many stable relationships we can have with people. It's different for everyone but for me its really low! Quality is better than Quantity. Anyway, hang in there and welcome to Steemit!
I am a heavy equipment tech by trade and I am a staunch believer in quality before quantity. The bosses didn't appreciate me taking more time to do a THOROUGH repair but the operators sure appreciated the work I did for them. I will look up dunbar's number and thanks for the welcome.
Thanks. I need to learn how to communicate via Steem and make some actual friends that hopefully I meet in the near future. New to the program.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Welcome to Steemit! I wish you all the best for you! You can write to me when you need it I send you a big hug from Argentina
Argentina! how is life down there? Now there is a place where I could probably really enjoy my motor-bike. Not to mention the weather
