Communication Technology

In a world surrounded by technology, how do we choose between adequately educating ourselves for the sake of keeping with the hip and happening crowds, and not loose the real meaning of having a face-to-face conversation?

I am sure that most of us are thankful for this communication technology that has allowed us to search, decide, purchase, receive and use products all completed within such short time frame. We also appreciate the easy access it provides to connect with our family and friends, and give us the opportunity to witness our baby niece grow. This is the wonderful side of networking on the Internet. But how do restrict on what matters are acceptable to discuss or comment? How do take control on keeping our personal happenings private?

 Personally, I would like to maintain some kind of privacy, despite of the excitement that it gives when sharing news or photos with my beloved others. Are we able to keep track on how further any announced news would travel? My friends have other friends, and these friends have more friends. I am also not too sure that it is healthy to know too much information about something or someone.

The key here is to practice certain limits. A wise saying that I believe in for most aspects in life stated that ‘too much of anything is not a good thing’.
