Concerns seem to be recycled. Again, the similar sorts of concerns are recurred surrounding social networking sites.

Hyper-socialization is not definitely a part of my own life, yet this article captures my attention, i.e. the part concerning about the futility of theses texting, networking, joking-around activities. Are they really futile? What are “meaningful” social activities, then? I often think that it is such non-purposeful, seemingly wasteful guestures that lay groundworks to build our good will toward pro-social behaviors, cooperation, and other more “serious” forms of participation. Wouldn’t it be a easy or convenient way of being connected to use these technologies?

On the other hand, it may be seemingly the activities of interconnection, but, actually, based on just ego-fed disillusion that others will care about my own business. I keep posting stuffs, which most of times end up being only my self-talks, not reaching others’ ears. Then, this seeming-hypersocialization is not really about social things. It is just for my own pleasure. Oops, getting  more confused…
