Hiding Behind Technology

In this day and age, technology has afforded us many luxuries and conveniences. It makes things fast, quick and easy. It also gives negative, bad, annoying, whiny and obnoxious people an opportunity to hide behind it.

It is unfortunate that some people use things like email, social networking sites, blog, website etc to vent, share mean things and hide behind technology. I came across a few sites in the last week where you didn't know who the author of the blog was. Topics ranges from complaining about the government, affairs to people they didn't like at their job. And they write on the web faceless and nameless. Too often you see people using these incredible creative tools for evil instead of good. It makes me sad that they choose to spend their time on such negative actions. For some, I guess maybe it is blowing off steam.

I write this post today because it got me thinking after a friend and I were talking about the 1%-2% of the nuts out there. Because our company is currently dealing with one and it is a doozy. You'll find them in any group, company, community, church, event and fans. They are the % that you shake your head and wonder "don't they have anything better to do".

It isn't too often I run across these people in my line of work, but when I do, I seem to meet the nuttest of them all. Like a dog with a bone that won't let go, they just want to keep annoying the crap out of you.

Oh well.... the great thing is if they can hide and I can ignore.. right?

I have some fun new things to share next week, stay tuned!
