Network (Jan. 26)

So it seems the world has come to a place where it is all about who you know. The sad thing is that online communities are popping up that attempt to simulate the act of connecting socially with people but there are and will continue to be some major flaws with networking online. The first problem is that it requires no social skills to actually network online. Secondly, if you do attempt to connect online there is a serious draw back in the reality that the communication is ultimately flawed in the sense that it lacks reality. The one benefit that is there is the ability to connect with millions of people and people that you would not be able to connect with any other way. Take a second to ask yourself if connecting with someone in an enviornment that will always hold a high degree of fakeness is worth connecting with that person at all.
