Great read and some great comments. I agree wholeheartedly that nothing replaces face-to-face contact. I personally do try and strike up a conversation sometimes in the check out line at the grocery store and make such a boring event come alive a bit especially when it's an older person who looks a bit down. My wife and myself don't live a real social life besides work and I enjoy it as well conversing with someone face to face in a check-out line or mall or game or concert or wherever. It's adds to my life. Now so does some social networking as well but agree, what's that line "there's nothing like the real thing baby, nothing like the real thing", something like that.
Thanks Michelle for this article!
