If you’ve spent any amount of time devoted to maintaining your online status and checking in daily with your facebook account, like I have, you know just how great it is to keep up with those in life that you love and care about – the technology we have available to us now is beyond amazing. For myself, living on the East Coast now, staying connected with friends and those I care about back at home in California, in particular, has been all the more important to me. In a way, I don’t feel as though I’m completely missing out on everything. Technology’s allowed me to stay connected. Yet, in this day and age when everything is so connected, I’m finding just how much less people are actually connecting – truly connecting, that is. The problem is – we’ve replaced, in large part, being together.
Simon Sinek gives a short talk on the importance of keeping the humanness in humanity and maintaining our face-to-face relationships. He reminds us that technology cannot do this for us and that we’re separated from the very thing which makes us human, when we loose the personal interaction we all so desperately need.
