Happiness

I found the article about "Tracking you happiness" pretty interesting. If iphone apps can tell how a person is feeling, whether its daydearming or being unhappy is pretty cool. But how far will applications go. I feel like a privacy boundry at some point will be broke.

There are some apps out there where they can show people exactly where you are. That’s kind of creepy. Like the "Friends" app on iphones- its designed to keep track of all your social networking and keep it together. This allows you have contacts of all your friends on facebook. You will be able to see their photos, video and post through your contacts on your phone.

I feel like phone apps are taking away from actually getting to know someone by face to face interaction instead of just by your facebook page. Where's communication going? I think over the past couple years relationships have changed. Before you had to ask out a guy/girl in person and now more people are relaying on text or facebook messaging instead of talking in person. I sometimes wonder if younger generations will be able to hold a conversation in person or even on the phone. Phone applications have changed the way we look at relationships. I know for me, sometimes i will be fighting with my boyfriend over text. Which can be good because its less stress because you can take your time to actually think about what you want to say instead of just saying things you might regret but its also bad because things can get misunderstood very easy.

I mean my boss even texts me sometimes. Its really weird to see people my parents age texting and even on facebook.

I wonder how communication and relationships will be 10 years from now.
