Do YOU get those gossip cravings when you just have to pick up your cell phone? Yeah, driving back home and then deciding to fill up your time with a quick call that wont hurt :S We are chat addicted people, or in other words convodicted!!
For ages, we have been upgrading our methods of communication to keep up the friendly gossips and fill in chats. Imagine with all that, in the old days, you literally had to wait for the weekend to catch up with the news and fill in all the gossip. The girls' buzzing had to pause until the next friendly gathering at someone's place. And if two accidently met in an elevator, yetsallo fel sekka, won't harm! I agree it’s a girl thing in general, but Egyptian girls have got the talent on top of the addiction ;-) the gossips are interesting and funny, unintended for scandals.
With weekend chit chats not being enough, we moved to a whole new level of gossip and side talks. There was a leap in magazines and papers. So between one gathering and the other, girls had a dozen magazines to read through in their free time. Gossip of the day, was definitely the first column most girls would jump to.
After some time, the conversation cravings increased, and so we moved on to telephones. Then houses with a single telephone set ended up with a set in every room, and in the kitchen and sometimes in the bathroom too, maho there's no time to waste! The shock came when mobiles made a boom. Absolutely no one got past the period of launch. The first telephone bill was crazy.
Almost everyone I knew got huge telephone bills.
Thus, ICQ along with cell phones took over, and started a whole new trend of internet and cell phone gossip. The funny thing is how we were able to make up a whole new conversation language to make chit chats real cozy. Heyya de el talent that I mentioned earlier, ya3ny creative gossip kaman :D
So now, with the blast of all the new cell phone packages, sms messages are becoming old fashioned. Video calls are taking place, and some even use conference calls to start an immediate gathering, that can't wait for the weekend :P
Adding up, you don’t have enough time to check all your email account"s". Not to mention the facebook wave driving everyone crazy. I can tell what some people ate for lunch from the crazy amount of photos they post! So we don't just have and ill curiosity to get all the other people's news, but we willingly update others with our own :S which confirms my idea about no scandal gossips :D
Bas with all that … internet chats , emails, social networks, cell phone messages, calls, all in addition to the traditional phone chats … we still can't give up the old fashioned friendly gatherings. Even when there's no time, we still thrive for it and continue to look forward to arrangements.
So if a gossip a day won't do … go for gossips by the bunch :))
