The myspace revolution

I think this myspace.com thing has gotten a little out of hand. Honestly, it is really crazy how so many people can sit around doing just yapping with people all day. myspace has revolutionized this by basically making people create their own website and letting other people search it. Now don't get me wrong, I have a myspace account. I love the fact that I can meet new people in my area and do it sitting comfortably in my home. I am afraid that this "revolution" is going to start causing people to become socially awkward. What is going to happen when you don't ever have to meet anyone in person? How are you going to develop skills that allow you to advance yourself. In this cyber-controlled world, myspace is just another way to distance people from actually developing meaningful relationships in person.

Recently, I began looking for people to make friends with in my area. Instead of going to a bar, meeting at church, or looking up people from high school, I signed onto myspace and searched for people that had similar interests as me and my fiance. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying that I'm not putting any effort into making these friends. How strong can a friendship become when there is no effort put in either way? I guess only time will tell.
