People say they have how many hundreds of Facebook friends or Twitter followers. But how many of them do they really know? Why do we spend more time behind a screen than talking with someone fave to face? When was the last time you sat down with someone, one on one, and purposefully set aside any cell phones, laptops, tablets, television, or any other distractions in order to just get to know someone better? When did having a real conversation with someone become so hard?
Maybe it's not technology to blame. Maybe people have gotten lazy, suffering from digital dementia. Just because you spend a lot of time with someone doesn't mean you know their darkest secrets or even simple that are details plain as day, things that are screaming in front of their faces.
Have social media sites allowed us to become anti-social? To shut everyone in out lives out? And to offer up a more important question, does anyone seem to care?
