We have evolved AWAY from thevsocial interaction. When this country started, the community banded together to keep the society alive. There tas a team work in the towns & everyone looked out for each other. I look at the history of the town I now live in compared to Lis Angeles whete I was born & raised. The fort that started this town had all the people wirking together just to survive.

I see the difference even now. I didnt totally isolate in Calif but had NO desire to know my neighbord & even though I was in a brand new home in a brand new neighborhood where we all started there at the same time I didnt ever get to know much of anyone there even in the church I went to thete was no connection & even with the other computer engineers I had very little interaction outside of work or my racquetball games at lunch.

I move to this small town of 8000 & I have grown to know so many over the last 10 years & I can say that having thevsupportive people surrounding me now is so much more wonderful than amything I experienced my whole life time before this. Having people who care & who look out for you is totally pricelessbto me. Life used to be social & i see social a lot more in the small towns whete people REALLY know each other.

There have always been those who isolate even in the beginning of the country but they were a lot more few & far between because people needed the support just to survive.

We get so caught up in our world today we fail to think or even understand what life was like & how social it NEEDED to be just for survival
