Oh I don't know. I have to disagree. I keep in better touch with long distance friends and family because of technology. I believe my VBAC happened because of the information that was available at my fingertips. I think we need to take more responsibility about how we spend our time and what our life priorities are. The people I know who's lives are solely dependent on technology are ones that wouldn't socialise normally in real life regardless. And I have friends who are even more antisocial than that and don't even use technology to socialise. We have grown and evolved. And just like cars and public transport have stopped us from being as physical as we once were we need to choose exercise. Just as we can choose not to eat convenience foods. And like this thread we can choose to make a difference with our consumables. It's all choice really.
