Hello Darlene, I created an account so I would not be anonymous anymore. I think the issue is based in quantity over quality. Just as you say, the world is at our fingertips As long as it is, I don't believe people value relationships. People are a commodity. Why work to create and keep a relationship when there are so many people at our fingertips? I don't agree with this concept but I know it is all around me. It is hard enough to find and connect with someone who you can be yourself without auditing your thoughts and feelings...I find tremendous value in that yet all I see and feel is people using tech as an excuse not to develop and practice thoughtful social skills.
