De’ Sea’s Commentary - Issue 1 of Who Knows



In this growing fast-paced electronic world, many people, including myself, life revolves around e-mail, social media and TEXTING.  At times, I feel I am running just to keep up with the constant changes.  Sometimes I think we need to put away or shut down our electronic devices for a while, that occupy so much of our time.  We need human contact; that is so important in the world today!  On the other hand, the computer might be the only means for some people to communicate with the world around them.

In the past, I have observed some people unable to have a personal one-on-one conversation with others.  It appears they feel very uncomfortable.  However, if you put a computer or cell phone in their hand, walla it’s as if you have turned on a light switch.   Their thumbs moving faster than light can travel, I might be exaggerating just a bit.  :-)

Don’t get me wrong I think computers and cell phones are great!  But, I think they have greatly hindered the need for interpersonal communication skills with the younger generation. 

I spend a lot of my time communicating with family and friends through email and social media.  I wouldn’t have it any other way; I think of it as my lifeline… my fantastic support team!  I try to find a healthy balance with all of it.

FYI- I'm here to stay baby!   :-D
