It wasn’t that long ago that the networks, mobile networks that is, would fall to their knees for about two or so hours on or around 1st of January each year.
This year was a noticable drop in any sort of text or communication.
A couple of years back I committed something which is now known as “FaceBook Suicide”. Since then my ability to know who is “making a cup of tea” and / or what the latest is on the in traumatic events of “teaching a puppy not to wee on the floor,” has completely cut off.
What it has meant is that I am no longer sent birthday wishes from people I hardly see and, as this post is meant to state, Christmas and New Year wishes have fallen off of a cliff.
Its now socially acceptable to post a generic “wall post” stating happy new year. Surprising its even more lazy, I mean easier, than the mass text event that used to happen when the bell struck.
I sent out Christmas and New Year messages. I got some replies, but only because of the fact I sent them a message. I did consider twitter but that wouldn’t work, none of my friends or colleagues use it…
I feel that the network meltdown is a thing of Christmas and New Year past……
