The evolution we have seen is funny. There were people I knew from places I lived, then moved, and thought I'd never see again, lost touch with. That was just the way it was. They didn't think to ever call me nor I them. Then when Facebook reconnected us, it was like a miracle. Everybody talked about reunions, but they never happened. We all just chatted online about the past and the present.

I feel even more isolated as a result of Facebook. When you see what everyone is doing all the time, there's no point to actually get together with them in person. There was even a recent SNL sketch about it.

Looking at photos of my 'friends' at parties I wasn't invited to, etc... If Facebook was around when I was a teenager, I'm sure it would have caused me misery.

It's so strange how we work and stay home, interacting with others via computer. Is this better?

Another thread on here mentioned a robot friend. Someone who will always be nice and supportive because they are programmed to be. Is that better?

I always joke how Epcot at Disney is other countries, only not real, but the best of those countries and better.

Remember the Woody Allen film Sleeper?
