| | Lately, I've been feeling that my "social interactions" have been limited to the virtual world - Facebook, texting, blogs, and emails. Whatever happened to chilling in a coffee shop and chatting it up? Reminded me about a paper I wrote on cell phone culture...=) After a semester of doing research and asking random ppl on the street about their cell phones, I've come to a conclusion: that technological advances have stifled our inability to relate and have stunted our socio-emotional growth. Just the other day, I observed my family all in the same room, but not talking to each other...one was listening to her ipod, 2 on their laptops, 1 in front of the tv. Can't believe just 10 years ago "family time" would consist of walking in the park, going to the beach, having a bbq, etc. It's time to hit up those community venues again and invest in the only thing that will last on this earth - relationships.
