Like...Like...Like...
You know what really Grinds My Gears? The "Like" button on Facebook. Is it really necessary? It isn't bad enough that we have to spend the better part of our day scrolling through mind-numbing amounts of uploaded pictures and reading statuses(with countless spelling errors i might add) about how many times couples break up daily. No, they just had to go and add a "Like" button. If you like something that someone has said or a picture that they have put up then say so. Are we really that lazy that all the energy we can muster up to show our appreciation for a friend is a single click of the mouse? The answer to that question is yes by the way. The "Like" button is just one technological handcuff that is stifling creativity and melting away IQ points of young people across the globe. If many years from now your wife comes into the living room to see if you like what she is wearing and all you have been conditioned to do is click a button to show approval...guess who is sleeping on the couch tonight. If you really like something that someone has done then at least be generous enough to leave them a nice comment or better yet look up from your computer screen for two seconds and tell them to their face...they won't acknowledge it because they are busy texting but at least you tried.

I totally agree BP. America has seemed to get lazier and less patient. I meant all the newest technologies that come out "nowadays" are how you can do something quicker, easier, and faster. With the "like" button (which i rarely use) I feel is also a popularity contest. "Who can get the most likes on their status"? Facebook has created this lazy, popularity era and I completely agree with how it grinds your gears.
