I have decided that technology is the introvert's friend. I can send emails, text and look up information on the web instead of a phone call. Some people think that this is less friendly or personal but it offers me an opportunity to be more social than I would have been. I would have been too nervous to call someone to wish them a happy birthday, but now I can send them an ecard or send them a message on facebook. I know more about people from my past now than I would have ever known. Technology is great!
It can also be a bit of a nuisance. Especially phones. People constantly check their phones for new emails or texts, even when they are having a conversation with you. I also hate when I am in line in a grocery store and the person being checked out is on the phone. It is so rude to the clerk! Not to mention part of me doesn't want to be accessible to people at all moments. It is good to leave your phone sometimes and not turn on the computer for a day. I promise the world will not blow up without you knowing about it.
Overall, technology has made my life better, not to mention getting to know people better...Thank you!
I LOVE technology. I generally refuse to answer my phone- I let it go to voicemail and return the call when I can. E-mail is awesome. I am an introvert as well and I think technology has made my life SO much easier, people energy wise!
