We may know many specific things about our friends yet rarely talk to them! The real questions are: Do you really feel connected? Do you feel seen or heard? Do you feel sustained by the new technologies?

Fast paced, hurried world
no longer can support our heart connection.

We have become empty shells attached to our electronic devices.

Real smiles have turned into yellow smiley faces on screens.

“I am glad to hear from you”
“I support your cause”
all turn into a like button! 

Deep conversations
are turned into mundane discussions
about weather, cars and traffic congestion.

Communication is now text messages;
quick, short, emotion free, with minimum attention.

Phone calls are mostly for conducting business
not for connecting.

Face to face get togethers are now just for weddings and funerals.

Empty shells click on electronic devices.

Click click makes us feel communicative
not connected.

Click click takes away our heart connection.

Emotions might hurt the poor things, things that look like humans, are just things, like electrons, and their shallow messages.
You've hit it right on the button my friend, much wisdom in your thoughts Shervin.
