After being away for 2 weeks… October 11, 2007

I’m back. I felt the great need to write that not being connected to the internet for 2 weeks, I feel left out of things. I got back on Sunday night and the first thing I did was check my emails and Facebook, I felt like I was having withdrawals from Facebook; WordPress, and PBwiki. Yes I missed my friends as well, but it has been very difficult to not see things and chat to people over the internet, even though I have a phone and spoke to some people everyday. I felt like I was out of the loop and I’m not looking forward to having to try and learn all the new things I missed out on for 2 weeks. What I am trying to get at is that Web 2.0 is forever changing and after not using anything for 2 weeks I am going to be a bit behind in the technology stakes, which means I have a lot to catch up on. Another thing I was getting at is that I think I am becoming a bit of an internet junkie… I never thought I would, and I never knew why or how people could become addicted to MySpace or whatever it is that they fancy. I am addicted because I like to see what people have done on my page, or messages they have sent me, and I have some friends in other states that I can talk to on Facebook and through email. I guess that is why people become addicted. There may be other factors, such as trying to make lots of new friends, which I’m not really looking at doing, but if they come along then I’m not going to ignore them.
