"I feel like I’m part of a generation of people who are stuck in the past and are really self-absorbed. I mean, we’re actually taking pictures of ourselves and posting them on Facebook, and keeping in touch with people that should have been out of our lives 15 years ago. Obsessing over who’s getting married, who’s having kids, who’s more successful. It’s like we’re recreating high school every single day using social media. And it’s weird."
-Diablo Cody, screenwriter of "Young Adult" and "Juno"
Interesting. . .and I think I fit into this category all too well. Is it too late to change? Here's the rest of the article.
Yikes... this is so true. BUT I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that we're able to keep in touch with people we couldn't easily connect with before. I do think Facebook and social media definitely encourage self-obsession and comparison/competition. Of these, I am 100% guilty. What's life going to be like it 20 years? Eek!
