Too Connected

We all have one or more of the following:
-A computer
-A cell phone
-A facebook
-A twitter
-A linkedin

And then throw in any "feeds" we get. I ask though, are any of these things REALLY feeding us, and what is it that we are growing from? Are we really connecting with each other, if all we do is share an "update" on a computer? I look at my facebook "friends" list, and out of 166 people, I may be actually friends with (meaning, see "in real life") about 30 of the people. Don't even get me started about what classifies someone as a friend.
The point? Get off the computer and see the people who mean the most to you. It's great to get caught up with people via text/twitter/facebook/email, but it's better to see your friends face to face.
Your life off the computer should be much more fulfilling than on the computer, and if it's not, it's never to late to change things up. The internet was created to make life easier, but it was never created to make your life.
