danger of virtual when there is not enough real

I love technology because it makes communication very easy, cheap & accessible and I love communication.  Communication is the bridge that links us with other humans.  However recently I have noted a danger with virtual connections when there is no live or real interface.  It seems we need a balance between virtual & real so that technology can continue to serve our humanity.

are you inside or outside your relationships?

I came across this brilliant TED talk by Renny Gleeson a few weeks back and it made me very thoughtful about how our social environment has changed over the years. Due to technology & social networks many of us are no longer inside our relationships but outside looking in. No doubt this would have occurred in the past but now technology & the environment support us in viewing/sharing our relationships rather than enjoying & participating in them. Check out Renny’s talk & let me know in the comments how you feel about his perspective. Its funny & enjoyable to watch whilst making a statement about our technological social life.
