Tweet me, Facebook me, Just don't Call or Text me

     Ever meet people who never answer their calls or answer their texts, but always have time to hop on Twitter or Facebook to post statuses, etc? Yes we all know people like that. First texting seem to be the alternative to placing calls. Everyone now had the option to reduce communication with people they weren’t too fond of. The invention of social networking sites such as Facebook has created a new lifeline for people. Such sites allow people from different location to communicate, and in some cases, reunite after years of not speaking to each other. The problem arises when users begin to treat such sites as their personal diary, forgetting that thousands of people can view their profile. Rather than telling close friends how their day was or issues they’re dealing with, users are getting more comfortable with the idea of alerting their whole list of “friends” on social networking sites. Reality has been shifted to social networking sites where people take everything they see or read to be the truth. Whatever happened to calling? At this point, texting would even be more tolerable than Facebooking or Tweeting your thoughts. Just pick up your phone (preferably  attached to your YUBZ Retro Handset) and make that call. Promise someone will be waiting for your call.
