I can’t count how many texts I sent/received today and am afraid to know the number. Between meet-ups with friends and a meeting time change I felt like my day was spent entirely on my blackberry.
I worry as I often do about how society is changing the rules of how we interact. Are these dissected conversations we regularly have with those closest to us bringing us closer together or diluting relationships? We take for granted that our friends and families will respond immediately to a text or call and are quickly annoyed if they don’t.
The question still remains swirling around my mind – are we better off with the way we communicate now than we were 10 years ago?
