1 post tagged “killing conversation”

I was just talking to a friend, and he was telling me something, and I realised that I had already read on his blog!

Is it possible that the internet is killing conversation?

Sometime in the future, in a year of a decade, not too long from our own, two friends agree to meet in a pub/bar/taco bell. They sit down with their drinks/burritos, they get the pleasantries out of the way, and on friend starts to tell a story that happened to them recently, and the other friend stops them short and says "I know, I read it on your Blog".

"oh" says the first friend.

And suddenly they realise that they have nothing to talk about. Which only leaves them to finish their drinks in silence and go home and write a Blog about how no one has anything to say any more.

Therefore, I here by pledge to only blog about things that I would never bring up in a social situation. Admittedly being a geek there are very few social situations, but never the less, welcome to my world of crap ;)
