"FRIEND and LIKE for HIRE!
The
Deaf User’s Manual for an Inevitable
Internet Life that No One will Read (2nd Edition) 6-26-2015

FOR GENERAL READERS:
A DEAF Author’s warmly disclaimer: the content inside of article may have a
“cerebral-macgyversim-provoking” effect for some readers- not suitable for
anyone who cannot deal with the reality or a person who is fragile-booked.
I am an artist, I draw and
paint with words to connect things. I can see real changes from all of us first
hand. ….. NOTHING you’re NOT familiar with. Maybe I am being too talkative, or
maybe I need re-evaluate my eccentrically manners to get your approval to be in
your friend list again?
My willingness to do the good deeds
hasn't changed a bit since the Y2K famously for unknown mass hysteria. Some do
keep an eye on each other, but with a lost skill- we simply forgot how to greet
each other like we used to in old "AOL Pager" days. Digital
footprints left clues for me and I know. I am here using the social media with
a purpose to re-connect with you through meaningful words. I would love to
re-connect with some of you.
The
culture of cutoff on mobile communications- text or IM or emails.... This is
uncool and wondering is that a new thing? ? I dislike it, it is a very rude and
lacking the traditions of a good citizen. Are we letting our morals integrated
completely with technologies. The Ping Pong effect plays an important role in
this, when you cut me off, then naturally I became discouraged too, because I
don't want to be one who annoys either, the game goes back to fourth - the
cycle is inevitable.
I just came out to the world
not long time ago and try to re-organize my long lost pieces and some of it
belongs to you as well. Amazing how a blink of time really starting to take an
effect as some of us accept the fact of a life long time ago, some not and some
no longer are here. God bless their souls, my good ones. Money, Cancer and
Death- Using causal words feels more of the original instead of using technical
words"#1. Financial, # 2. Health Issues and #3. No longer with us".
1. I can see, know, and feel your
presence digitally breathing behind my neck, being a strikingly-friendly - not
doing anything, head tilted towards to
the LCD screen, just WATCHING and readily to hit the “like”, “order”, “add-me”
to trigger your low activated dopamine level due to the absence of emotional
attachments. You're being plugged into the blue and white matrix to mind other
people's businesses. I am not much of a motivational speaker - your prospects
are right there if you start looking at your own.
Artificially, you're waiting
for your own opportunity because you have seen all so good stuff going on in
the "Pseudo-Happy World". Some uses FB to mirror their life with the
meanings they digitally developed. Financial can be easily deceptive for own
gain or anonymous shopping for protection reasons and regretfully draining hard
earned money for a pointless addictive app (i.e.- Farmville, Nextflix, etc.),
it was engineered for this obvious reasons.
Thanks to the ever-advancing FedEx
shipment and the rise of mobile phones, people are serious about auditing and
marketing their DNA or blood. A rocker roll college student naively giving up
their privacy of bodily fluids to the digital world for a price cheaper than
McDonald's. 99 cents "McChicken". Isn’t shame to sell a piece of an
entire family heritage information out of you acknowledging it is being shipped
somewhere in China? Evolution didn’t happen at during the FedEx days and it
took million of years to arrive at this point.
The next thing I know we all are
trying to sell our lives to each other in a tiny white & blue white square
box. Blaming others for your gain or loss? Trying to protect the semi-value of
materialism as I notice money was the obsessive topic from nearly all of my
ancient friends.
2. Seeking out to re-connect the old
friend and maintain healthier relationships with people I knew. Some went AWOL,
some will take weeks to reply past-due questions, some ask for money and some
are too busy to talk. The illusrations we created while we are holding the same
phone in our hands. This is not a physical issue and this is the point of
becoming “Neurological-related” laziness!
Right? We share all have our own
struggles, an affair of our personal sorrows, we ultimately forgive and
continue to grow. Health Issues shown on social media aren't always revealing a
true diagnosis for any purposes. Ideally, health is a personal thing, but
increasingly people ditching doctors to rely on search engine for a cure to
their life-threatening illness. Possibly a person with Munchausen syndrome
doing Catfishing on us.
3. Some see Social media as their
safe haven to keep a sense of pseudo-happy world by liking, sharing, exchanging
pictures, and a massive collection of ducked-lips selfies. The prevalence of the whole
linguistic context shows a rapid declining while all big tech giants in full
push for educational reform, here are examples of most humanly possible
articulated phrases - lol, IMO, SMH, BYOD, FAED1 (I made it up). All of these
effortless texts happen to sneak up one's professional world a shy for scandal
attention to satisfy a thirst of the overnight internet sensation. Talking about values of a human's life, a YouTube of a kitten clawing
out of the litter virtually got over 6 million of hits OVERNIGHT. A meaningful
human communications declined; intelligently or not.. More "likes"
the merrier you are. . When someone is no longer with us, she/he is
"digitally" alive and people consistently posting pictures or other
contents on a wall who actually died 2 years ago. The End of the list...
Metaphorically,. We were issued a
limited lifespan.... A group of frowned fishes swimming in a circle beside
right each other, but keep passing by (literally like frozen one you saw at the
supermarket) with no sense of time, chasing the sunset hook, but in the end
fishermen keep throwing them back in the ocean as long they're happy with the
count. Good hook like posting to eat up your time and what is your meaning of
living like this? .
A hint of my frustration, not a fame
one, but a communication one. I never cared the count of "LIKE" and
only a little one who really exchanged words that I truly appreciate and at
least they knows they exist when time is limited. - One “LIKE” is a
100 like to me if you must know, but a word is a 1,000 looks to me in some of
your definitions. Even someone's child is injured and grieving, some of you
click "LIKE" with an empathy (you forget that they cannot see your
face) as assuming they will get the same interpretation. It's a symptom
of into a strange emotional detachment underlying
a neurological problem and almost everyone are unconsciously affected since the day they plugged their life into
the net.
If you are at the point of
understanding that Facebook will NEVER AGE but we do. Hope this will help your
life to slow down by taking a screen off and look out there. If you never read
this one, maybe you'll live 10-25 years faster, shorter and sweeter!... I was
out there for a long time to get us here and not all of my stories successfully
uploaded through social media. Therefore, all of three technical words aren't
the best tool to judge a picture cover on FB. I would like to see all of us
start articulate more words and valuing our time. If you look at all of your
group pages, you'll find a lot of fishes looking for the same thing you're
doing right now. Hear from you-all soon, no more likes please and use words! I
this is also about skills - you're very good at zap a “LIKE” faster
than Zeus !
