I write and teach on the subject of technology for small business, so it’s interesting to me when I hear people say that it seems we are more disconnected than ever because of technology. We are glued to our screens over dinner, standing in line or even have our phones out during coffee with a friend (guilty).
If anything, I am more connected. I am in touch with old friends from childhood, I meet people within my large town who have similar interests. I connect with those I may have never crossed paths with. I stay connected with those I have met and developed relationships with. This is all possible with technology, whether it’s social media, email or just a text or phone call.
It’s easier than ever to reach out. The point is, are we doing that still? Or has technology disconnected us?
