Talking to Machines and Devices More Than People. Danger or Destiny?
Many people now talk to their machines and devices more than most of their relatives. Not to mention people who live next them them (neighbors).
It would seem like a weird science fiction movie, if it wasn't so subtle, convenient and even comforting.
In fact, a Pew research study was done that revealed fewer than half of American adults now know most or all of their neighbors. Personally, I think the number is higher, especially in mid to larger cities and if you defined "know" as opposed to "know about". Big difference. If you applied that scenario I'd guess the number is much higher.
Do you find that alarming? The new normal? Or is human contact or engagement overrated?
Is Facebook, Twitter and Forums like this the blame? Or are they the answer for our need for human contact and engagement without having to form relationships?
Are we growing closer to this scenario? Mooh -ha--ha-ha!
As always I welcome you comments, disagreements or complaints.
