没有妈妈的日子:第七天(第二篇)

The language of technology...

Bits and bytes, that is what we use to communicate today.
From messages and instant messages on our mobile phones to social networking sites (SNS) we actually use bits and bytes, the common language that is understood by all our devices.

Bits and bytes changed the way how human interact with each other? Indeed true.
This is year 2012. Do we still see someone writes a letter? Do we still use the phone at home to call our friends or loved ones?
My answer to the first question, no I didn't see anyone nor know anyone who still writes a letter. My answer to the second question, somehow yes, there are still family members that call me through their house phones.

I live in the bits and bytes era. Technology changed and effected much on the way human interacts.

Here are some of my experiences.
Let me start from my personal experiences; I love using this instant messaging application or app for mobile, 'Whatsapp'. You just need to connect to an Internet connection, using wifi or data on mobile and you can interact with your contacts that use the app.
'Whatsapp' is a channel of communicating those gossips with my friends. As I written before on 'gossiping on instant messaging', people use this method or channel to bond with one another or keep in touch with friends. To be honest, there are PLENTY of gossiping (backstabbing mostly) and heart-to-heart conversations with my friends (Not Twitter nor Facebook friends, keep in mind).
When I need to find someone to talk or chat, I'll go to my few closest 'Whatsapp' friends.

Other than using instant messagers, one can try Facebook message or Twitter's Direct Message (DM) if you want to talk about something that you might not want to make public. Please bear in mind, as a SNS user, be abide by certain rules such as don't keep updating your (silly) statuses on FB or upload images of you behaving like a nutcase, sorry I need to rephrase my word... behaving immaturely.
Bear in mind also, certain conversations should not be made public. I'd learned my lessons few days ago on Twitter. Do not ever talk about utmost intimate topic on a public timeline, with an opposite gender.


Tweets posted on my Twitter account, take it with a sarcastic approach.
Yes. I do love to bant and rant. I Tweet stuffs that I find to be sarcastically funny. Honestly, if one can't take sarcasm, my advice would be stop reading my Tweets. Leave it if you are a 'faint hearted' and doesn't 'digest' sarcasm...
Condemn me if you want...


Writer's note: Earlier today, I Tweeted "To some point, I feel like Ana Steele, minus those stuffs. Wtf! Cc @dayapattinson", mentioning this friend of mine. Yes. I met and talked to her few days ago and told her my 'confused feelings'. I DM-ed her later on why I feel like Ana Steele. For those who read '50 Shades' trilogy, you knew well who is Ana Steele and those 'stuffs' I was referring. As I mentioned above, DM and Facebook message are meant for discussing personal issues or topics. So I won't disclose what the conversation was about.

Writer's note 2: There was this thought of mine that I think can be useful, somehow "I believe time will confirm or deny all confusions". I'm currently in a confused state. I'm uncertain of my feelings and actions. There are too many questions that I seek for the answers. I think only time can tell... Confirm or deny all my questions.
