Thoughts about people’s habits at present time . . . “Sometimes, reaching out and taking someones hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.” If you are people watcher like me you observe the things they do, at the street, at the bus, at the train, at the airport, name it. I am sure you will agree just as I agreed with the blogger’s post as follows: “You see it all the time now. People just looking into their phones wherever you go. Technology has a way of isolating us. Sure youve got social networks and everything but human to human contact - theres just something there that technology will NEVER be able to replicate. If you think about it, a lot of the group events that people have, whether its religious, or about certain subjects like comics or entertainment - you could all have them online right? Yet, people STILL travel to these meetings, to these conventions, to meet similar like minded people. Its easy to avoid human contact, VERY easy in this day and age but let us never forget or take for granted the power of human to human contact and all the benefits and opportunities it has to offer that cant be measured.” Bottomline, despite the proliferation and convenience of modern technology and social networking, there is no substitute for human contact on a personal level like talking to them. Read further the article below to justify the end .. . We need a lot more human connection and a lot less technology. While modern technology seems to make our lives more efficient, in truth things like the computer, cable TV, DVDs, and cellphones so permeate our days that we have less time than ever. Anxiety, not tranquility, is the result of all our new convenient gadgets. Text messages and e-mails are not the same as talking, and surfing the web is not reading. Our lives have become fragmented as we are overloaded with distracting messages on our mobile computers and always-attached-to-us cell phones. We are always multitasking and trying do more, and rarely have time for engaging in a meaningful conversation. Life is lonely without close relationships. Isolation is the root cause of depression. The more isolated we are, the less we enjoy our lives. Only through close human interaction does loneliness recede, yet reaching out seems virtually impossible in our modern world. Those of us who are lucky enough to have friends and good social skills need to reach out to those who do not. If we dont do this, no one else will. To make friends as well as useful social and business connections, one must have, or develop, good social skills. These skills involve listening and speaking well, and also learning to really care about other people. People who connect the best are also good at give and take. Close human connections are fundamental to our success, our happiness, and our quality of life. Leaving you with these great quotes . . . Cherish your human connections - your relationships with friends and family. Barbara Bush “We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.” Herman Melville Cheers! Joegar
