Recently, a business coffee meeting turned into casual talk about electronic gadgetry. Of the business persuasion. Smart phones, iPads, laptops, desktops and on and on.
The question came up: “Are we all hiding behind a veil of technology?”
With the dozens of ways to instantly communicate, we have lost our ability or desire to speak on the phone, meet face-to-face, or break bread.
Furthering that sentiment is the fact that along with using these convenient, yet sometimes impersonal methods of communication, many of us are still doing that very thing we all did with our first answering machine. Ducking calls and skirting real conversations.
Very few of us could have ever imagined a world with such fantastic machinery, technology, accessibility and convenience. But every once and a while, it is nice to get off of the cloud, remove the veil and make a connection.
And no, Bluetooth does not count.
