"In the history of our species, we’ve never been more socially isolated and alone than we are today."

Anecdata: I have (sometimes crippling) social anxiety - the Internet (and later mobile phones) have made it possible for me to connect with people, become unisolated, and much less alone than the 20 years I suffered before they appeared.

I can't wait until more of us can come to the simple conclusion that maybe "phones aren't for everybody, ...all the time"

That way some of us can still appreciate the pros of this technology and those that are more concerned with the cons can adjust with their communication habits among family and friends accordingly.

Yaas :)
