[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Chat Rooms Are A Great Place To Discuss Ideas And Beliefs, But Is Our Next Generation Missing The Point Of The Technology? by: M6.net
In my short life, after years of talking too much, I've come to realize that if one is always speaking, one never listens. If you never listen to others, well, you're limiting your access to a lot of knowledge and information. Recently, after much deliberation I thought I'd check out what the world of Chat Rooms is like. People talk to each other by text, voice, and web cam. This is a really big phenomenon; I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. I expect there are many chat rooms where people with similar interests get to know each other, and share their perspectives on various aspects of life. These are great, much cheaper than telephones, and multiple, random people can chat to one another simultaneously. But I speak the truth, and my preconceived ideas about mindless gossip from jaded humans were sadly affirmed as I arbitrarily checked chat rooms that supposedly discussed important subjects. It seems some people are just very bored, and want to be cool and swear on-line, insulting others, and giving this area of information technology a bad name. I think a lot of people are using the rooms solely for personal conversation that contextually no one else can understand. I went to a chat room about religion, and then to one about tattoos and it seemed like the same people were talking. Most of the conversation didn't even touch the supposed subject matter. It was definitely a disenchanting experience but hopefully with more research I hope to come across some serious rooms where the true intent of the creators has come to fruition. I guess it's good that bored people in our technological society have others to talk to. It means depressed adolescents may feel more connected to others and not so alone in the world, maybe even having a positive effect on a possibly suicidal youth. But, I do feel this nonsensical chitchat is a sign of our next generation's apathetic view of present reality in our postmodern culture. When reading the text from a supposedly religious discussion, and hearing graphic use of derogatory terminology, I really have to wonder about the present spiritual beliefs of my culture. I'm a true believer of the concept that technology is here to further the consciousness of humanity. Computers and the Internet can help bring all of us in the world together, thus evolving our society to the next level. After looking at chat rooms, I feel there is a need to integrate more wisdom and compassion into our 'new world' generation. Having the technology is great, but it is only one half of the equation. To make the Internet work properly, I think we need to instill the same faith we have in science, into a faith that encompasses the actual creators of the information and communication tools-humanity itself. We seem to realize that we can invent many great things, but it looks like we're missing out on the great truth: that we ourselves are part of, and made of something great in itself: Life. (Existence!)
multimedia presentations
If you follow one of the above multimedia presentations hyperlinks, or take a look at the website that might have popped up when you entered my, not yet so fantastic site, you'll see what I mean. These multimedia presentations sites are so useful that they put my little effort to shame. Seeing I'm not exactly flushed with content yet, you may as well leave my little website now to visit one of the multimedia presentations sites I've linked to. But before you do go I'd just like to say that I'm putting lots of work and effort into this multimedia presentations place of mine and I'd be pleased if you'd remember it and come back again one day soon.
