I recently read an article on NYT about how we are all so occupied with our smartphones and ipods that we have forgotten the art of having a proper conservation. Are you all guilty of that? Especially the frequent posters on Gupshup. How do you get time to post here regularly, be on facebook, text constantly AND have a lengthy conversation with someone? Do you think you’re losing touch with communicating with people face to face due to being constantly glued to the computer or smartphone screen.
And I feel this quote from the article is very true:
“We think constant connection will make us feel less lonely. The opposite is true. If we are unable to be alone, we are far more likely to be lonely. If we don’t teach our children to be alone, they will know only how to be lonely.”
