The internet!

loops, posted over a year ago

How much trouble has it caused your relationship? I personally now hate social networking sites etc etc, as what would used to have been a hi in the street with an ex or whatever turns into them knowing every bit about your partner/ life. I feel like we all give away too much to people who in any other circumstances would know nothing.

I have had a hell of a lot of problems with an admirer of my partner and the internet. To the point where I have ended up deleting several accounts, and disabling others. What is everyone elses opinion?

I think the internet causes a lot of heartache and misunderstanding. You see things, misinterpret them, and all hell breaks loose.

Because its just words, you can interpret what you see in any way, often not in the way in was originally meant, which causes jealousy.

Just my feelings.

I think like most things, it's a dual-edged sword. One the one side it's a great tool, tons of information, easy communication venues, networking capabilities, educational (in too many ways, too often) and so on. On the other side: It allows for too much weirdness, fraud, and exacerbated addictions. My two personal favorites I love to hate are the Facebook/MySpace/ and Twitter nonsense. There is no longer any discretion in use. Personal dirty laundry scattered to the four winds.

On going arguments in households over whose-doing-what online in secrecy. Things that were never issues are now epidemic. The porn thing just shouldn't be out there for open access.

Things like tone of voice and facial expressions just don't exist in that medium. Soon, we'll be reduced to grunting at eachother whilst furiously texting. It's both good and bad.
