Age of Communication and Other Modern Myths







Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Match.com.

Smartphones, iPhones, Skype, iPads, Webcams, GPS Trackers, Foursquare.

At any instant, we can reach out to someone, know where they are, what they're doing, and who they're with.  And they can do the same to us.


24/7.  A meal is enjoyed by taking a picture of the food, the drinks, the company, the setting.  The location is shared, reviewed and logged for points.


People are friended, defriended, Liked, Googled and collected.




But... Suicide is up.  Divorce is up.  Marriage is down.


Why?

Because we're connected, but not communicating.
