True Life: Digital Drama

On TV the other night, there was a true life that related to how digital technologies are ruining two relationships. They showed two extremely different cases; one being a man that is constantly on his phone for work reasons and the other was a couple obsessed with their facebooks and blackberrys.

I felt bad for the girl that had the boyfriend that worked 100 hours a week. He literally was constantly on his phone when they went to dinner and acted like she was not even there. He was not trying to be rude, he was just putting work first. He even had to go as far as to see a therapist to help him change his habits.

On the other hand, the facebook couple was just pure comedic relief. The fact they fought about who wrote on their wall, who they added , locked phones with passwords, was just a joke. The girl would constantly say if he deleted his facebook they could be together and he refused. They would catch each other in lying, from a facebook comment, insane. Why even bother to be dating someone, I don't get it. I do not know how people let a networking site get in the way of everyday life. It should be something to keep in touch with friends, not a reason to believe you are cheating on your significant other.
