Did social networking create our needs, or did our needs create social networking?

Food for thought.

Because if you told me four years ago that a website that lets people post their thoughts in 140 characters would become popular, I would have been like, get out of here. Or something to express my annoyed disbelief.

But now like everyone has Twitter. Even the most unlikely people have Twitter.

President Medvedev, is that you!??!

Things like that.

And blogs. What's up with this blog thing?!

And don't even get me started on Facebook. If someone told me (following the same format of above) that today people would sit in front of their laptops for hours just staring at their newsfeed, I would have been like, get out of here! Again! And stay out!

I think social networking definitely created our needs, because five years ago I really didn't need to go on Faebook just to talk to my friends. Or update my status to tell the world I am pulling an all-nighter (which I am). Or untag myself from ugly photos. Or have ugly photos online to start with. (Curse you Facebook!!!)

Just some thoughts I stumbled upon while shitting.

Okay back to work
