It's not technology that's turning people away from each other. It' rude obnoxious behavior that turns people away from each other. I would have to start blaming shock comedians first. Very few people can pull off a good joke by insulting another human being. And when you get average joe trying it b/c he saw a comedian do it, disaster. But that's my 2 cents.

I contend the circles are larger now but LESS personal than in the days when we actually met with and did stuff with out "friends" face to face.
