I don't know. I still talk to strangers when I get out. I still wear a wrist watch, watch people when I'm out because everyone else is preoccupied with their phones. Still look at the stars, daydream, write in a journal (with an actual pen! I know!!). But yes there has been concern that mobile connection is alienating people further than ever. Things aren't as tangible as they once were and as we move further into the future I fear the decline of conversation, understanding subtle gestures or facial expressions, tone, etc. Hell folks think I'm strange when I say "When I listen to music I get up and dance and sing into the remote, kitchen utensils and dance with the vacuum cleaner." As if this type of behavior was strange....Well I think staring at a small screen is strange. I'd rather be known for actually being human than a robot. Maybe I put it to harshly but this is a topic I've brought up with family and friends numerous times.
