Technology and Society

Funny how we're all connected by the internet. I could literally Skype call one of my cousins on Australia right now and talk to them like if they were in the room with me. Funny how technology has brought us together, yet it also drives us apart. We are so focused on our technology as a society that we don't look ahead, that we're starting to lose a grip on reality and the reality becomes the screen. I don't hate technology, just Facebook asks "What's on your mind?" and this is what's on my mind. Funny how we can Skype call people all across the globe, but we sometimes don't see the people in the room because we're distracted by our technology.

Relationships

Relationships can be stressful at times. Sometimes you need a breather from the person, like being alone for a bit. Humans have a history of clashing with each other, in every relationship, either it's a friendship, a couple or family. What I'm talking about right now is between a couple. It's important to always communicate with each other. Now sometimes you get psychologically stressed in a relationship, like if something happens to them or they're doing something that's making you worry, a lot. It's good to worry about your significant other in a relationship, it means you really care about them. Now, sometimes your significant other goes out in the middle of the night and you worry about them so much, the city can be a dangerous place in the middle of the night. If you're someone like me - paranoid and always worried - you'll become restless and if they don't text you for one second you're really worried. Right now I even have a headache. In a relationship you try to improve yourself and your significant other, so you both have a strong connection.

Sexual Attractions

Frankly, I lived underneath a rock most of my life. But this quote from Sherlock makes me really think: "Beauty is a construct based entirely on childhood impressions, influences and role models". In today's modern society skinny is sexy, or strong/athletic, not too muscular but not too skinny, I guess, and tall, but not too tall (people are really picky). This is influenced by the media, either in magazines, movies, video games or television shows. Sex is also highly broadcasted in today's modern society. You will see a general pattern in what "appeals" to people, if you ask them in a large enough group, I might even run that test (comment if you wish to what you find attractive. If I do post results of the test then I shall keep it anonymous. I am not one to judge to what you find attractive, if I were to judge then I would be a hypocrite.) Back to the discussion on hand. I am not really one to know what is surely attractive towards the greater population. Attractiveness is really an opinion based thing. There is no right answer to what is attractive, it is an opinion that was entirely up to you. Some people do not find skinny or fit to be attractive. To continue on about attractions I delve deeper into the world of "fetishism". What is "fetishism?" Fetishism is " a sexual focus on a nonliving object or non-genital body part", from the Wikipedia entry. Some people aren't just attracted to people, some are attracted to... carrots, couches, trees, the color blue, basically generic things that you (probably) would find completely normal, but someone else might have an attraction towards it. This is also from influences and environmental traits when you were a child.
