Yes it's the 21st Century and technology is all the rage.... touch screens, touch tones, touch to talk; touch, touch, touch! We are touching technology but, we are becoming more and more out of touch with others!?! When is the last time we did not type a conversation, text a friend instead of stopping by, or even just verbally talk instead of twitter!?!
I personally have stepped back into reality; gone to visit family and the sick instead of checking facebook updates, having nights out with friends beside the club; doing charity work in lieu of only writing a check,etc. We need to get back to interacting with others. Sitting behind a computer may help you type fast or even create but, you will be a social misfit.
I love technology do not get me wrong! Hence, embrace the future without dismissing the past. E-mail but also snail mail (it's nice getting thing other than bills), emocate but show emotions(show the world how you feel tho' smiley faces are cool), facebook and spend time face to face! Stop hiding behind bits & bites go taste what the world is like with out the electrical appendages.
"If we don't know history we're doomed to repeat it!" I don't want to repeat the Dark Ages!?! I also don't want to miss the people/ places/things around evolving with out me... Live life and let's talk about it later. A heart, mind, soul, idea or person is waiting for your special Touch! Peace!
You are so right, Cousin. I know I'm a fiend for the latest gadget, but there's nothing like spending time in person, especially with those you love. That for me is real joy -- family and friends -- treasure them while they're here because life is much too short and I know I don't want to be left saying, "I wish I had spent more time with her/him." Love ya!!
