  3. Speed is everything • Change is happening at light speed • People • Consumption • Communications • Complications

  4. A global warning • This is a global warning – a not-so-silent silent alarm: • We’re in the beginning of the end of real communications that actually convey warmth, personal involvement and concern • There is no rebel force fighting to retain the last vestiges of human contact that could prevent us all from being locked in our own narrow stalls of technology

  5. A shrinking planet • Incredible advances in technology have shrunken the planet • Today, the mere push of a button or keyboard transports us to other people in other places • The benefits are bountiful and have led to giant leaps of advancement in many fields  • We are the ‘best’ communicators of modern time because of the speed with which we can do it, but • We have largely forgotten what our own handwriting looks like, our what our friends sound like, or what ourloved ones look like

  6. Seduced by technology • We are seduced by the allure of devices we don’t fully understand but still are determined to use • from the early years to our last conscious acts the human race is in a frantic daily sprint to stay in touch. • We are keeping tabs instead of keeping in touch • In the process, we have lost ‘real’ touch with the most important principles of human connectedness • Multi-function technology has devolved us into multi-tasking fanatics who willingly choose to isolate in the process of ‘communicating.’ The result of all of this connectivity: we may be witnessing and hastening the end of real human communication

  7. Oh, the irony of it all • The death of the real written and spoken word has not occurred – but we are close to laying them both to rest • Ironically, we believe we are communicating at the highest level when, in fact, we have reduced the art to a cold, technical exercise devoid of deeper thought, feeling and warmth  • Former NBC news anchorman Tom Brokaw warned in a recent speech that the generation emerging from college is in danger of living a ‘virtual life’ instead of an actual life. But the tech virus has spread to us all

  8. Can we talk?
