I agree with . Reality became virtual, without us realizing. We are able to experience presence of each other, yet without any sense of touch. Artificially added emotions numbed us down to a point, where we no longer can communicate openly and sincerly, thoughtfully, with patience, always expecting instant response. That is the downside of technology. It is just way ahead of us. But it is still a matter of sobriety in usage.
On the bright side, I had a great chat with my mom today. In person ;)
