I just read something about people being harassed on instant message.
I think instant message is the most stupid thing in the world.
Unless you really need to get a hold of someone, but then again, that's what phones were made for....
It's like another instant gratification thing. Some things shouldn't be invented. Kinda like fast food~~ good at the moment but leaves a bad taste in your mouth after.
I think of it like this.....if you wouldn't give someone your phone number, don't give them your instant message.
Duh.
I can see if you NEED something really bad or like, if your Dad is online and you want to tell him something~~ because the phone is busy because he's online.
It'll save you the 4 bucks for the operator interrupt....
Seriously.
Some things it might be needed for.
But for the average person it's instant gratification that you are talking to the person that you want right at that moment.
It's selfish. And it's impossible to get things done with five IM's going and more interruptions. So.
My thoughts on that are just that.
And people get pissed at me and don't want to talk to me anymore because they have to write an email. Oh fucking well.
Or people that think you are just going to meet up with them.
That's hilarious too.
Not that everyone on the internet is bad or a stalker or anything because of course that's not accurate. Like I'm just going to drop what I am doing and go meet up.
The last guy who was asking me a bunch of questions was from the same state as me, and wanted to talk so ok, no biggie. Email is fine. And then asking where I was from when it stated that on the profile.....he's like "Oh good. Only 45 miles from me.." End quote. And End email.
Honestly. Get a life.
Or one of the best ones were "What am I looking for on the internet? A special friend? "
Come on. Maybe that would work on a 16 yr old, but not on me.
Anyway. There's a girl missing. Again.
Abducted. (Probably from someone she talked to on the internet.)
I don't allow my child to use the internet. And I won't unless I am sitting right there.
Anyway. Just be careful. Email is just as instant as instant message and anyone that tells you otherwise is full of shit.
And this way you can't be harassed.
