Social Networking

I came across this fabulous Venn diagram, and I couldn't agree more.


Social networking sites are the curse of modern life. It's all just banal, useless chatter. I remember the days when I would compose letters. Letter-writing was an art form, and one that I took very seriously. Now my emails are no longer than six or seven lines, and nobody goes deeper into the minutiae of life any more. I read somewhere that Facebook is infantilising adults and it's true - communication is reduced to childish, unimportant soundbites. Okay, rant over.
