I really loved reading about the internet and
social isolation. I completely agree with this concept. Nowadays communication
is through the internet and other technology. When I go out to dinner I constantly
see people on their phones or checking their face book. I personally am a book
worm and live on my ipad with the easy access to downloading new books. I think
that has allowed myself to be isolated more than I should be. This has easily taken us away from
communicating face to face, and isolated us each into our own technology based
worlds.
I agree. I am constantly asking my brother what he would do without technology. Every time I come over to babysit he has his phone in his hand and has a new internet meme to show me. I had no idea that 'meme' was the term for those silly pictures that tend to usually be about cats... I am also 25 so I know that this in itself is a little sad. I think we have become so attached to technology that we have no idea what we would do if it was gone. I have grown accustomed to my cell phone and can't imagine what it was even like before that! It it crazy to think that this technology isn't even that old.
