Cell phones create more distance. True or false?

True.... Somehow something so simple has made life so complex. :(

You can look at it 2 ways.

1.The person who really never did make the effort to contact family, now will with text or calls.
The cell phone gives a safe distance, that it is all they wish to have.

2.The cell phone is used more now, than when they did put the effort in to a visit.

It depends on the person, and their relationship with their cell phone.

I can not believe I just said that last line....but it is true!

People have a bond with their cell phones....Some may love theirs, some indifferent(a means to a end).
Eighter way, it really all comes down to a 'need' to let the cell phone do what they use to do....or in some cases didn't do.

So true. Sometimes when I take public transport I would see people, make eye contact, start a conversation and such. Now most people are on their phone, if a robbery was taking place they wouldn't even know. No scrap that, they would get off the phone and take a picture to post on Facebook.

Today? I think, distance. It seems everyone is on their phones...a million miles away from reality. Went to the park today. Saw a family. Little girl (couldn't even walk). Both parents on their phones...
