Have you ever realized that as we have moved from traditional ways of communication like meeting people in person, writing letters or even calling up long distance, to the e-communication, we have become equidistant from everyone?
The colleague sitting on next desk is as distant from you as the one sitting on the other end of the world. You communicate with both of them by exchanging e-mails sent using the same server.
E-communication has distanced us from people around us as much as it has brought the distant ones closer to us. It had made us loose the personal touch that people around us provided us while at the same time it has helped us be in touch with friends around the world.
Strange are the ways in which our social relationships have changed, we may not find time to meet people in our own city and may do with phone calls and e-mail exchanges, at the same time, wherever we go in the world we have friends, some of whom had crosses paths with us at some point in time, some courtesy e-networks that we are a part of…Amazing isn’t it.

ReplyDeleteabout 39% communicating...
people no longer want to move out of the house because of the comforts of staying in
i am seeing a pattern in this
people are mentally coming closer, physically distancing themselves
how interesting can that be ...
well..E-communication has only given us a broaden prospectus of choices we can now make..the consequences are only the outcome of what we choose.
ReplyDeleteE-comm is not the culprit..we are :)
