Finer Woman, I feel you on this thread. I wonder too about people who spend so much time on the 'net. As a moderator, I don't have the time to be on here and compared to others I have a very low post count considering I've been here for over 5 years now.
I study these things too because I am not an internet person. I wonder about how people in general spend their time. Aside from the internet I am not into the telephone or tv either. And it's not just because I have a full life (job, kids, grad school, etc.) but because none of this stuff appeals to me as hobbies or things to do in your spare time. Before I was married with children I was busy doing physical things and with church/community groups (like Sigma Diva said). I'm still trying to find out what the appeal is for people who like to "type talk" to people they don't know on any consistent basis to rack up thousands of posts on different boards.
I have even thought about doing without e-mail altogether because I don't like people communicating with me that way. I have 3 phones you can call me on, ok (home,cell,work!!
).I don't like e-vites, e-cards, e-conversations etc. because they don't have that personal touch. I don't even like my boyfriend to instant message me when he sees me on line. I'm too straightforward and I want people to know what I am saying and the intent of what I'm saying (tone of voice and all).
OK, I'm through with this!
