...Another result of our dependence on technology. We are creating a world where we can't really interact in personal situations. Facebook, My Space, that space and all spaces keep us from experiencing real emotional connections.
Interpersonal communication is going to be lost in the cyberspace of technology--why, I've even heard that, now, when young people want to 'date'...they do it via a text message...How can you hear the intonations, or the expressions of a human voice like this??
Has anyone read E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops"?
