Find me on the web, like I'm a turantula.

I ironically wrote a scholarship essay in my blog, not intending to publish it on here. I laughed when I was finished and decided to publish it anyway.


Instant messages, text messages, Facebook, Myspace, Xanga, Blogspot: these are all forms of communication that have enveloped my Echo boomer generation. Constantly preparing ourselves for our place in the world where we will eventually become future politicians, business executives, social club leaders and every other title from stay at home mom to President of the United States, I imagine this warped technological communication is impossible to revert and will carry us through the networking groups of our destinies. This quick communication fails to teach my generation the etiquette needed to succeed and falls short of molding our emotional intelligence which is valued for any type of social interaction.
A country's efficiency in regards to government, economy, and society lies at the feet of teamwork and human relationships. Regardless of advancing technology, conversation face to face will never submerge; a metaphorical line that can not be crossed in order to keep others happy and interests groups cooperating accordingly will always exist.
With these new technologies, children of my generation are already showing signs of failing to know how to react to others in a healthy and productive manner, thus weakening their problem solving skills and lowering the future's rate for adequacy. With this type of training, the future will ironically be at a lack of communication due to some individuals adapting to the demands of learning new interaction techniques and others using technology as a crutch.
From my discoveries and knowledge gained from studying the neuroscience field: the human brain, human behavior and technology, I will eventually have the expertise to teach others cognizance of the problem and exercises to practice physically, rather than technologically, networking. Between practicing problem solving techniques The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle introduced me to and teaching others to be examples to follow to increase productivity between people, I can count myself as a part of a solution.


I guess this whole technology thing in these terms is and will be sort of a problem. Right now its a problem anyway (a teenage problem for now), because it takes up a lot of our time we could be using to do productive activities and well, I sometimes hear of girlfriends getting terrible upset at boyfriends for other girls commenting their facebooks or myspaces. I know some people who even change their top friends according to who has pissed them off lately and who hasn't in hopes of the person who pissed them off to look at their top friends and notice. Sometimes those people do notice and leave racy comments or send a text.

Instead of these people stopping and rationally making a decision, they are quick to go at it online. In all actuality, these people made problems for themselves and then are quick to complain about it over their statuses.

I can admit I am cognizant of some of the virtual messages I have sent to people through my statuses. And it is also easier to text something than to say it out loud. It is something I have been teaching myself to overcome. However the status bit, I sometimes do it to be funny, self entertainment.

Let's face it, our generation is emotionally unintelligent.
