Rather than interacting with people face-to-face, we prefer to do so via impersonal means, such as computers, cell phones, text messages, and IM.

We are merely living in a world that is controlled from somewhere far away. Unknown people telling us what we should be doing, what to look like, what to say, what to eat. And most people not only do not see this, the happily go along with it. As things change, they become the norm. Now, should a child want to go outside and play, they will be scolded, if not by their parents (hopefully not), then by someone else, say a local police officer. The world is not the same, it is all becoming fake, virtual, and controlled. Let me ask you this, how many people do you see that when alone, do not pull out their cell phone and call the top 3 people on their list instead of noticing and enjoying the world they are passing by?
