I am not one normally to complain, but in the digital age complaining seems to get you nowhere in fact it takes you right off of the boat. Because we have connected ourselves in a digital manner we seem to want to resolve personal relationship conflicts in the same way. But because we are not digital people we are real life human beings whenever there is a relationship conflict between two people whether it is a professional conflict or any other kind of conflict our first instinct is, i'm going to write about you on Facebook and that should solve all of my problems.
Being that we live in a society where almost everyone now has a voice and that voice can be heard on a social network of at least an average of 100 people, we should it seems to be getting along quite well in the realm of face-to-face communications with the real life human being. It seems the more we know about a person when we see them in person we should be able to resolve whatever conflicts we are having with them very easily but the opposite is true.
Because we are plastering everything about our lives online these days we have seem to lost a very valuable commodity in the area of building and keeping professional relationships and social relationships. I'm finding that relationships with doctors are extremely stressful these days because of the online threats and harassment that we can find ourselves in after we have voiced our concern of course online and not in person or through the regular mail. The good old days are gone when when we had a complaint with someone we would take it directly to that person in person and not have to worry about the dreaded emails and phone calls, hiding exactly what we wanted to be exposed to in the first place. Social media can be beneficial in building up an online friendship base in which common problems can be resolved very quickly but when it comes to more complicated issues The complaint department on websites like Facebook don't meet the needs of our every day lives.
If only we had a direct line to God in this sense where we could take our complaints to him, instead of getting a voicemail machine saying this line is busy press one to leave a message. Human to human relationships will never go extinct because they are necessary for the survival of our species. Let's face it folks we are not digital people we live in an age where being digital or being online is the norm. There are some things that can't be resolved in an email and there are some things that can't be resolved on Facebook hence there are times in our lives when we need to go back to the way we lived 20 years ago and live in a way that conflict can resolve itself without the use of technology. Press one for more information.
