As I look back on much of my work I can see that I have a tendency to alter reality. Hey, I was raised on Walt Disney so that’s my excuse. I was one of those kids in the seventies who had a black light in my room and the posters to go with it. It’s just cool to look at. I remember back when I was a kid, having a color TV was a VERY big deal! I know I’m dating myself here, but I remember it well! I think my dad was the last holdout in the neighborhood to purchase one. After all, our black and white TV worked juuuust fine. Even though we needed pliers to turn the channel.
I recall being at a friends house and watching “’The Wonderful World of Color’ on their new color TV. That was one of the coolest moments in my childhood. All those splashes of color coming out of Tinkerbell’s wand! I was HOOKED on color! I admit it! I would sneak over to a friends house to watch Wizard of Oz… and cartoons? Forget about it, I’m there!
So forgive my tendency to occasionally take the pliers and turn the knob on the reality dial. It’s the kid in me.
Skimming through one of the weekend papers this morning and I was reading an article about social networks. This particular one was about Facebook and mainly about the dangers for kids and young adults.
I picked this particular section to highlight because of the fact that it states that the time spent on these sites has soared to 6 hours a week ... well I bump up the average because I can spend that amount of time on various social sites or at least socialising online for that period in a single day.
Yes, I know it's sad but I enjoy it and in the past I'd have sat down and watched TV so now I log on and talk to my friends.
Their other point is about the difference between real life and virtual friendships. I know they're right up to a point, but I don't think it's all that hard to work out who is genuine and who is fake. I haven't been wrong so far. Maybe I'm lucky or just old enough to see through the bullshit.
I'm here on my phone. It's hard to type everything I want to on here (and to spellcheck and proof it for errors - which will bother me till I get a chance to correct them) but in the meantime, what's your views on this?
We're not all out to deceive and I think my online life is as valid as my real one. And I DO have a real life (it's just more boring than when I'm on here!)
Oh and another thing I've remembered. I have contacts ranging in age from 16-17 up to very old (I don't always ask or know) but is it considered weird for a 51 year old woman to talk to a 17 year old boy online without having any ulterior motives other than friendship? In real life I'd raise my own eyebrows but online it doesn't seem unusual. Most of my contacts are younger than me. I know I'm no threat to any of them but how do they feel about it? Do they wonder what MY motives are? And should I set my own boundries for their sakes in case other people aren't so trustworthy?
It's something I think about from time to time. I shouldn't have to but I do.
Ok. Enough rambling. I'll be online properly soon and will add to this as I think of more.
