general media Where times better before... offline world/online?

[Finia 260]

There are some stuff i generally cry.. Well its more tears of joy. When i see some stuff i remember as a kid, and i miss them. Its also mostly due to how facebook and social media have changed some of the social behavior. Which gives me some way of anxiety issues, 'cause i am so used to interacting with people. But it can also be the fact that i live in a place where i dont have any friends anymore. So i feel isolated. Considering i don't use social media.

 

Stuff like this makes me memorize the good days ^^. But what do you guys think? Maybe its a little selfish since there are so many new loveable fans here who loves MLP in all ages ^^.

I believe times were good in both sides. The day and age without the internet was certainly more innocent, I think. People got along better and social interaction were better than they are now. Today it's pretty much taking over all aspects of our lives and we're expected to manage it so we don't go overboard. It's a gateway to infinite knowledge and entertainment with no cost if you choose be. It's like any age old drug it's easy to get addicted and let it take over our lives.

There's good points and bad points about both 

 

I for one, find that being able to connect with people all over the world is incredible 

 

But there is a lot of dark sides to the internet, and social interaction has taken a hit nowadays

Well you wouldn't be able to ask thousands of people if things were better when we didn't have the internet without the internet would you?

The Internet has always 2 sides to it, like most of everything in this world.

 

Back in the day, when you have a show that you where totally into it, you didn't had the opportunity, to go onto the internet and share your thoughts about the new episode. If you where lucky, you had a friend who was also into the show and likes to talk with you about it. But that was never a guarantee.

There's good points and bad points, while being offline was good back then for children, nowadays it would suck if we didn't have the online world, but it can be both good and bad.

I've never lived in a time without internet, and I can't imagine a life without it.
