> [@Olfact\_Amorous](#): > > I always wondered if there were others out there that detested social networking sites such as these. I despise Facebook. I’ve never used it and never will. The biggest reason I use sites like this one is because [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) are a technology that encourages people to get out there and interact with everyone else the way Nature intended. The complete opposite of what other technologies are encouraging. > [@Olfact\_Amorous](#): > > whats going to happen to the kids of the 1-2 generations below mine that are just starting to come up in the world now. Between Facebook and constant texting instead of communication becoming more widespread (which it is in a technical sense) it looks like its gonna become more primitive as interpersonal/ social skills are gonna be traded in for FB updates and turning the whole english language into a severely abridged acronyms with no sense of how to form a sentence. It’s already happening, OA. My first encounter with a cyborg is posted up here: [Is a new dark age at hand? - #3 by MuskCloud](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/is-a-new-dark-age-at-hand/33831/3) I’m using ‘cyborg’ to describe someone who cannot interact with anyone without using technology. Something bad enough to suppress a woman’s natural ability to talk until the cows come home scares the living daylights out of me. I never thought I’d be coaxing a young woman to talk or be so happy to hear a ‘normal’ woman yapping non-stop after that incident. You can talk in your sleep 24/7 if you want, ladies. I don’t care any more. I honestly got a very strong impression this female cyborg didn’t know how to talk! I know that sounds crazy. It’s getting worse. Since then, I’ve sat on interview panels in previous jobs and we have rejected cyborg candidates for their inability to have a simple face-to-face conversation. Some young people, both male and female, just sit there and give monosyllabic answers with all the personality of a wet lump of clay and make no attempt to initiate conversation. It’s not interview nerves. The older ones - late 20s and up - are OK. This age group might be rejected, but it isn’t because they can’t have a normal face-to-face conversation. It made us shudder. Humanity will fall if this carries on. I’m convinced of it. I’ve even made a decision to favour Skype over emails when I’ve upgraded this machine to Snow Leopard. Skype is not perfect, but at least it allows voice calls which can be called human contact, even if it is only voice.
