Dinner Date ...

Few days back I had dinner with a close friend of mine. Usually, we friends end up taking a to-go and eat at my home watching TV. That reminds me, recently I bought a 59” TV with a 3-D view, it is just awesome. Well, getting back to my story, so I was having dinner with my friend and I realized we were having a conversation, what we were talking about isn’t important, but the fact we were talking to each other sharing few stories and not staring at that idiot box made me realize what all I was missing after I got that idiot box. This made me think even more, now-a-days I don’t call my friends that often, we have our what-so-ever communication or know about what is happening in our lives through facebook. Sometimes I make sure I “like” there comments or pics, sometimes I just ignore doing that extra step (see getting that lazy). Regardless, what that is or means , we have just skipped the part of “talking to each other”.
I am not much of a person who will share my life in facebook, I hate doing that , but I always make sure to log in facebook to know what’s happening with my friends. Weird, isn’t it why not just call. Am I getting lazier. And to top it all, my friends also are equally into it. I think everyone will agree to this, if you want to know where your friend is just login to facebook  . Also, not to mention few of my friends have started talking to their husband/wives or better-half on facebook. One of my friend even wrote on his fiancée wall, “ITS TIME” 10 seconds before getting married and then we idiots followed the drama congratulating them. HILLARIOUS!!!
All this makes me wonder , with we moving towards the “technology world” are we sacrificing those wonderful things around us which we might regret later. Now a days if you tell people to cut down on facebook and try to meet people socially, the response we get is we are going backwards again. Is that true? Or is it something we all should stop and think about for a minute.
I use to be the one who talks for hours and listen for ages from my friends. I remember my Mom use to say someday that idiot box is going to rule the world, and I could see my friends just staring at that TV  I wonder whether it has already happened. I wonder me buying this awesome TV was a mistake. I wonder whether facebook is really a social website or is something who is making us more lazy. I cant believe people updating there website without fail everyday but not calling friends or even for that matter their families.
Hmm.. something to think about….. I guess…….
