Are we getting to spoiled online?
This is a follow up post on my post about whining (Let all the whining begin). It came to mind when coming across another “whiner”. I was asking my self the question: why would he go to that great length to start whining about something that isn’t really important to whine about in the first place? Then it struck me. We’re being too spoiled online!
What do you mean? Too spoiled?
Well, people are being served better and better on the Internet. Mail services are getting more efficient, searching is easier and social media gives people a lot of freedom! All different kinds of things are getting more and more integrated into one big mash-up where people can “live” online. A good example of that is the newly introduced Search, plus Your World. It’s Google’s search engine with G+ results integrated. See photos and videos from your circles and pages they liked! Of course (and luckily) there’s also the “old” Google search. These sort of mash-ups are getting common more and more. It gives people easy to use tools to do what they want to do or in this case, find what they want to find and from who they want to find it.
See what I mean? People are getting used to these easy ways to get what they want. We all know what happens when something we want is easily available…we want more! We’re getting so freakin’ lazy and used to these easy ways that sometimes we demand even more! And that’s where I think we’re doing it wrong.
+1 on Common Sense
We’re getting so lazy and demanding that we forget what it’s really about. Finding challenges and conquering them! Finding new stuff, learn new stuff and excel yourself to a new level of knowledge! Stay down to earth and look what you’re doing before demanding something or whining about something.
Don’t get lazy but active and explorative. Keep your common sense at the highest level possible. Think logically and be a critic at times when you know it makes sense. You’ll be far more content with what you achieve!
