Being connected is a term that has new meaning in this generation. We can stay connected no matter where we are in the world. With a touch of a button we can communicate by voice or with a video. We can send pictures and videos instantly to friends, family, or coworkers. I have been very impressed by all that we can do through the internet. I have the world in the palm of my hand.
. A sad reality though in this culture is that we connect less personally with family, friends, and coworkers. The temptation of having the world in your hand is great and we give into the temptation of looking into the internet and ignoring the person that is close to us. We miss the little clues that those around us may give saying that they need us, or need someone warm and personal to listen to them. Family, friends, and all those around you begin to feel less important. Not being able to get that personal time with someone leaves them and us more prone to other things around that are not good for us or good for society in general. Society is on a crash course with disaster as we can see many of those signs around us happening now.
Try leaving more time for others. Leave the phone in the house or in the car. Have some real time with loved ones around you. Invest in others by giving your full attention. Let love shine!
