Fantasy vs Reality

Adventure has taken a backseat to cheap pleasure. As much as I want to talk about today's discussion, I have so much emotion built up. We as a society are so plugged into technology, it has dehumanized us. As human beings we are meant to express, but instead, we choose to text message or to instant message over social networking sites, the problem this brings up is that it creates a certain sense of deception, people now have the time to think about their answers rather then going with how they feel at that very moment, people can also lie much easier, put up fronts, this all takes away from the a certain realness that I believe we humans crave deep down. This is an example I tend to use a lot, and it's a simple question, "what happened to walking into that local coffee shop, and catching eyes with that one person, and just knowing, I want to be friends or more with this person?" These interactions are very rare if not non-existent, we have lose a sense of togetherness, a sense of community, we have lost our ability to express to one another, I am just so confused to how anyone can justify this and move on with their life.
