There was a time when love was about sending letters? Remember?...they call them love letters.
Then there was the telephone. So you can talk for hours and hours and hours.
Then there was the handphone. So you can talk for more hours, anytime, anywhere. Or least anywhere that has line and yr battery is not dead.
Then there was sms. Don't feel like talking...just sms! Whatmore, you can even divorce on the sms! Just sent it 3 times :)
Then there were emails. No need stamp. Just need internet connection and an email account.
With the world of internet.....it was a whole new ball game. Cyberlove, Cybersex, CyberMarriage etc etc.
But Blogging is a whole new dimension. It can be used to spread love and joy. It also can be used to hurt someone, and flaunt your dirty laundry in the streets. You become instantly popular. People want to know who did what, who slept with who, who got cheated and when you tell all in your blog, people will read!
So have love and dignity succumb to the lowest level just for the number of hits?

I think for those of us who grew up knowing the difference between what's real and what's not, technology has taken away a lot of that old magic.
It's hard to say the same for people who grew up around such things. Having to type rather than to write, to buy rather than to make.
Besides, love and dignity can't succumb to the lowest levels. There isn't any love or dignity when you do it in place for such things.
kamigoroshi - well said, you seem sentimental.
