Apr 12 2012: With the sudden boom in technology and I do mean sudden; in the span of human exsitance digital technology only accounts for a tiny percentage of humen interaction with it. Technology is still an infant when compared to somthing like the wheel.
I'm certain people are spending more time with there technology then with others (I don't keep my best friend in my front pant pocket) however, tech has made all of my friends more accessible. We might be spending less "face time" with them, yet we are able to stay connected through technology without phyicaly being with them. I'm able to stay connected with my friends from high school easily; 20 years ago it required a great effort.
I'm 25 so my interaction with others without technology is...limited.
