[QUOTE="Nathan DePaulo, post: 33254, member: 509"] Re: Google+? Yes, in application that pretty much sums how it turned out. But to play devils advocate, technology is neither good nor evil but a tool for us to utilize. Similar complaints could have been made for telephone technologies (removes the soul of writing letters, strangers can call you at inconvenient times, etc...) but the technology kept right on trucking and permeated our lives to the point that imagining not having telephones is quite difficult. I think we'll see a similar progression in "social networking" to other technologies that allow us communicate across the world. Once the shiny and new wears off, and the silliness sinks in, it will be just another method for communication and involvement with other people. No more or less interesting than calling or emailing or what have you. I just hope the spelling habits of the "texting generation" aren't here to stay. The over abbreviated nonsense drives me crazy. I hate the idea that we'll just change the dictionary, 'cause ppl 4got hw 2 spel. [/QUOTE]
