I love a lot about the internet. It helps me keep in touch with people I love fabulously BUT it seems it really can turn quite obsessive. I‘m from that cross-over era.
I am old enough that I used to write long hand letters all through my youth and send them across the world to Post Restante. And send telegrams. There was no such thing back then as instantaneous communication. You had to book a phone call overseas and just hope he person was home.
There is something to be said for contemplating before firing off a missive via social media. In many ways it is fantastic that things can be so so so fast, but it can come with a downside too.
