Commuincation

We have become the tools of our tools.

In this modern world of technology, many new ways of communicating with each other have been created. Having the options of calling, IMing, emailing, texting, facebook and so much more. But doesn't it seem like we have less true relationships now? It seems the more communication options, the less we are interested in true communication, interaction and relationship.
Why is this? Are people trying too hard to multitask and less concerned with the heart or the moment? Are we too wrapped up in trying to please too many people?
I am guilty. With all the new technology presented, I forget. I forget that I am still only capable of putting my heart and soul into so much while remaining authentic.

More people need to really look at how they are using (abusing might be a better term) technology. I get annoyed while having a conversation with someone and they start texting. I am bothered when you answer your phone or make a call when not appropriate. Can something or someone really be that necessary, or should you be more concerned with your moment? There should be a code of technological manners presented to the world. I am certainly guilty of all of this, but know that I am going to start being more concerned with the present.

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers. ~Sydney J. Harris
