caged bird syndrome

It sickens me to the point of rotten insides how much time I spend -I mean waste- buried in the world wide web. This alternative realm provides me with the freedom I don't really have otherwise and brings me to friends I wouldn't contact in any other way. Through my trusty laptop I can keep up with my friends, stay up with them as long as I want to and all without pissing my parents off. Sounds like a great solution right?

Too bad this only frustrates me more.

We shop, talk to friends, watch movies, and order pizza all without getting off our asses. I can never help but I think of those fluffy people on Wall-E and the fact that we are slowly becoming them. It's rare that I can have a conversation without someone who isn't either texting someone else, stalking on facebook, or tweeting about nonsense. At home, each person (parents included) is stuck in a comfy place cuddled up with their piece of technology. We rarely talk to each other, or interact for the most part and everyone is just zonked out. Our bodies have become immobile cases  because all the action happens at the touch of a button. SAD.

I hate this, but I do it. I hate being trapped but I am. And when you're the only one who looks up from the computer screen every now and then only to find that no one else even notices, you revert back. When no one is off their technology, being off yours is virtually pointless. 

What a waste of life. Sure, the possibilities are endless with the use of internet, we've been the closest ( as in knowing what's going on with people) but the MOST DISTANT ( as in not mentally being there with the person you're sitting next to) wait..this is a good thing? 

How disabled do we feel without our phones these days? naked. just lost.
 I could care less, but that's only because no one uses the 'speech' feature on the phone anymore.
Having no laptop when I'm cooped at home would probably put my brain into a frenzy, I hate to admit that I'd prob die...or want to.

So really, does this liberate or handicap us? 

Who plays 'house' anymore when you have sims? Real football vs fantasy? Maple story vs ...iono a real life parallel to that one... pretty soon, we won't even know how to write anymore, what with electronic signatures nowadays.

And seriously, I feel like the only one who has a problem with this.

I personally would like to NOT be on the computer the majority of the hours I'm awake. I wanna see sites, eat tons, and play. for real. ( this wing clippin' thing my parents have goin sucks ass.) a curfew is one thing, but being bitched at every time to leave the house too?...C'MON.

There is so much more to life, why am i caged from it?! 

Okay, that is all.

It's just been an agonizing bore of a day and that's just when the frustrating vent comes out. 

My brain might just implode from over dosage of facebook, twitter, now blogger, and everything else there is to do online.
