invasion of the hook-up culture.

and so i wondered... and wondered some more. about the question of communication and it's reflection on society's difficulty with commitment. the constant need for more. the constant search for something better.

until i got knocked over the head with an insight that lead to my personal conclusion via the form of a (not so) sweet little facebook message. my conclusion: a simple yes. 

our lack of REAL communication does reflect on society's difficulty with commitment.
maybe i'm nostalgic for a day when you could read people's faces instead of their thoughts in the form of lettered characters. (and not even individualized lettered characters at that). or maybe i'm just sick of little bubbles that pop up with words a person would never say to another person's face.

either way, our communication habits HAVE changed the world of relationships. our habits have created a never-ending search. and that never-ending search has led to a culture that doesn't know how to (nor really want to) commit. 

the hook-up culture of the college campus has invaded. and is in the process of taking over... guess it's time we cross our finger's, clasp our hands, and hope the hook-ups don't wipe out the real that is still out there.
