Escape from reality...

There are some situations in life when a person may feel the need to escape from the reality of their life. This I believe can be when a person feels under pressure, bored, annoyed and/or sad. Maybe one avenue of escape is using the Internet? A person is open to a different world, a cyber world. But really, can the Internet replace life? This line of though reminds me of second life. I have heard a bit about it but never been on it.....not thinking of going on.

There are so many different people in the world each with individual thoughts. Maybe this individual nature of people brings about the many inventions and ideas we have come use to. What is your favourite invention? Not sure of mine, I like a whole lot of inventions e.g. fridge, tv, computer, for a start. Heaps more.....can't go through the list. Then another question I pose, are we too reliant on these inventions or technolgies? For example the computer. Are we not use to it so much so that we spend a lot of time doing things on it. There are also situations where we are on it, but not really doing anything productive. E.g. going on facebook and just sittting there for hours looking random stuff and waiting for replies. I myself do this very thing. I think it has become a habit of mine. Not every day though, maybe every second. LOL. (My use of LOL, is that not part of technology and how everything can change- language changes as society does. One day a word maybe considered rude or inappropriate, then the next day it is part of mainstream society.)

P.S I started talking about escaping reality then moved onto inventions and technology. It is so weird how a person's thoughts can go from one topic to another. Maybe that is another topic I will post about. Till then......toodles.

I leave you with a random pic of clouds. Source: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2289/2042204623_d4e6453913_o.jpg
