I'm inclined to think we're less alone than ever, with the Internet. We're certainly sharing more with each other than ever, for better or worst.

Certainly, how we share (eg. online) has changed, but that's something we'll have to get used to, whether we like it or not. Or, feel free to reach out to people the old ways.

Edit: I worded this comment very poorly. What I'm really trying to say is that we seem to be moving toward a more virtual engagement with each other. Hopefully, this leads to something more positive than a "we all live in life support pods and live and interact in corporate-operated virtual worlds" ala The Matrix.

Then again, maybe that leaves a less crowded real world for those of us who choose not to participate?
