The Evils of Instant Messenging

Yup, I said it, instant messenging is evil. Evil in more ways than ordinary folks can imagine. Well, IM is like a voracious monster, it sucks us all into it. Whenver I turn on the PC, I just turn it on. Its a tool, for us all not only to talk to each other, but pretty useful to spy on people, that makes it evil in itself. IM is a tool for people to communicate, yet the very act of spying on people is a barrier to communication isn't it? What you can't get or don't want the other party to notice, you spy. You look at his/her nick and make wild gusses and deductions. And if that even suggests anything, your mind goes into mush trying to figure out whats happening or imagining a crisis thats all inside your head, messing you up in the process. Evil right, it creates monsters and disasters in your brain without as much as a single word, a silent killer on par with drugs and fags I suppose. And the thing is, when you see a person that you like online, a funny thing occurs. You will look, you will see and try to look at pictures. You'll observe him/her coming on and offline. But you'll never get past the barrier of conversation sometimes...

Or maybe its just me.
