Advanced technology has made everything happen quicker. You learn faster, communicate faster and events of global significance seem to take place quicker and with growing frequency. In a nutshell, modern technology has increased the pace of human social progress. Despite the advancement of communications technology that has made the conversation process a lot simpler, it has made humans more secluded. Mobile devices and computers have considerably lowered the amount of face-to-face contact individuals once treasured. Instead of the excitement of face-to-face contact, a lot of people opt for a presence of Web social networking. A few months ago, I opted to use my free benefit and contact my Doctor via FACETIME. It was an awesome experience. She was able to pull up my records within the applications, look at allergies, medical history and current meds. From this she sent a boat load of medication to my nearest pharmacy without me uttering a single word. This is where the world is going. I am still in awe of how far we've come and what technology is doing. However, I have to agree, we are communicating less and less face to face.
