Waiting on the world to change

Scratch that - Not waiting on the world to change, gonna change the world myself.

I don't know if anyone has been keeping up with what's happening in Egypt, I have been watching non-stop. I find it incredibly intriguing. Egypt is number one on my travel lists, I really am not to sure why. Whether its something God put on my heart, I don't really know yet, but i find the history there,the artifacts and the culture completely fascinating. One thing that kinda scared me was the thought that if what if I was there right now. What if I had left and went and lived there for a year. Now anyone could play the what if game for hours and end up no where, so i stopped myself right there cause I am not there and clearly am meant to be here right now as that's been shown to me over and over again.

Another issue that has been bouncing around the walls of my brain for the last few months was brought up with this event. The power of the Internet and social media. The Egyptian government shut down the Internet there because civilians were using it to protest and more importantly to the government - organize demonstrations. The government wanted to shut off the people voice. Social Media is now used for anything and everything you can think of. Have a business, it is now THE best way to market yourself. I've been learning this over and over again in my marketing class that this is the future of advertising. For goodness sakes there is a class in third year where you sit on facebook, twitter etc all class for this reason. The teacher is mainly there to just mediate and teach what she has learnt as well as learn from the student themselves. Its is an extremely hands on class, and i've gotta say looks super interesting as everyone is learning from each other. But anyways Social Media and this new technology data have brought up my different debates.

One we've been specifically talking about in English is the whether text slang is eroding the English language or making for more creativity. People's main argument is whether its making our generation stupid. I'm not going to go into all the different argument cause that would take forever and as I can already tell this is clearly gonna be long than I wanted.

There is another debate which I think is incredibly valid and noteworthy. Let me ask you one question first. It it easier to say something over the computer or text message than in person to someone? Most of the time the answer is yes even though most know the right way is to say something personal in person more and more people are just using text or social media to talk about important issues with each other. This has shown to move along boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in teens much faster, resulting in people saying I love you faster and for most high school relationship everything else faster, and I know you know what I mean. Obviously it's not the main cause, but its definitely a contributing factor.

I could go into detail but thats pretty much all I wanted to say. Got a little Serious tonight but it's definitely been a week of long hard thought. So think about it. It's definitely making me thing about how much people need to understand there worth and I especially make a point of letting my life group girls now how much their worth is in God. And not just them everyone.
