Connections

In this modern world of discoveries and technologies, what defines human connections? In physical and touchy sense? Or is virtual sense now also being consider as part of human interactions?

The distance between us has definitely grew closer. With phones, emails, chat rooms, MSN, Skype, etc... our World is definitely getting wider and smaller at the same time.

The way we communicate, meeting people, and even making new friends... Are they all going to change in context? Or we have to change our mind set to accommodate the growth and development of today's new world inventions and capabilities?

Thinking about how blinds communicate, instead of typing, they speak. How mute communicate of instead speaking, they write. And now with modern day inventions, we have the joy of communicating through Internet with sight, sound and words, isn't this a form of communication?

One thing is for sure! We still need that human 'touch' to make all communications work. It's a two way traffic. It's through our thoughts, our thoughts that defines us... then transfer to words... and being transmitted through this screen and reaches the other... and the process repeats itself in return.

Regardless of you being in front of the other person or not, if you lack your humane input, you go no where. And if you do open yourself up, and be yourself, open your heart and invite someone in, you'll feel the connection even if you are miles apart from one another.

That's my 2 pence worth of my take on modern communication. Fascinating indeed!

An entire new generation with no social skills, no patience and no grace.

Instead you get 'virtual intimacy' on demand, the same way you order a pizza delivered to your doorstep.
