Nick's New 180,90, 10

180
I have always been told that writing a letter and not sending it is a great way to relieve stress. With the Internet explosion writing letters has not gone away but has just evolved. It seems that with the use of e-mail, forums, blogs, text, and instant message people have begun to write and write and write but they see it as a free area to blurt out what ever they feel and think. Though a lot of the time it is a lot of feeling and expressing but not so much thinking. Many people bash and hammer other online with out think of what the outcome might be. We want to make people think before they send something that in the long run maybe shouldn’t have been sent. We have seen many forums on harassment and bashing others. This attitude may come back to bite you in the butt. Weather it be in the shape of how someone thinks of you or how a company think of you, you may go from a basher to the one being bashed.

I have always been told a great way of relieve stress is to write a letter and never send it. Well with the speed and the mass number of e-mails, forums, text, blogs, and instant messages have given people the idea that they can say and express what ever the want with out consequences. That they have no face or print out there on the Internet, but the truth is those messages have an impact and can have consequence.

Be kind, think before you type, because you can’t rewind.
