COMMUNICATION AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE

Something has been bothering me for some time now and I wonder if anyone else feels the same as I do? Have you noticed that the more technically advanced we get the more isolated we are? Have you ever been completely alone in a room full of people?

How did we ever survive without cell phones, the Internet, and cable TV? Seriously people think about it. We are constantly connected, plugged in, in touch but yet we are losing the art communication. Even on cell phones now we would rather "text" that actually talk to some one. When was the last time you sat down with someone and had a meaningful conversation? And I mean about the deep things in life, not who's gonna win the game or what movie you last saw. Can you carry on an intelligent conversation for mare than 10 minutes without losing focus or running out of things to say? We are losing the art of critical thinking and real true communication. I have noticed the inability of most young people and adults for that matter to be able to explain themselves or to hold an intelligent conversation. And if the cell phone rings all of earth and time must come to a stop so that they can answer it. that phone is the most important thing on the face of the earth.

The more ways of mass communication we get and the more ways of "staying in touch" we have, the more OUT OF TOUCH WITH PEOPLE WE GET. I hate to talk on the phone and I disdain texting. I love talking to people face to face so I can look them in the eye and see the emotions on their face, read their body language, share a moment of human contact.

WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!

Isolation via mass communication makes us more like machines and less like humans.

Just something to ponder while you are busy texting.
