Is It Snowing?

Thanks to the beautiful new world of social media, we no longer have to lift ourselves off the couch or even turn the TV on to learn what is going on in the world.

Our twitter news feed constantly updates us on the weather, news, what people have eaten for tea and how far their baby bump has developed. Is this modern shift in social networking taking the ‘live for the moment’ element out of life? Or is it just bringing us all closer together?

Before we actually taste our beautiful and well presented tea, we have to take a picture of it to show all of our twitter and Facebook friends and when were having such an amazing time on the best night ever, we take a moment to stop the amazing-ness to tell everyone how amazing it is, we no longer have to watch TV as our news feed provides a running commentary and we don’t need to open our curtains to see what the weathers like because a shed load of people will have already been moaning about it.

As well as the Spillers (the spillers of all information), there are also the Moaners. The moaners moan about the spillers spilling everything. This then recurs as much as the topic the spillers spilt did!

Although it’s important to seize the day and all that malarkey, it’s also important to accept that times are a changing and the world of Twitter, Facebook, blogs, retweets, baby scans and food pictures needs to be embraced with open arms.
