(the following said slowly, as I come to a realization of a reality not known to me before...)
Isolate... Interesting... I see a pattern much more clearly now. That of us being isolated, one from another. More so than ever before we (generally speaking) fear each other. Businesses fear being taken to court over petty things. How many people do you see striking up a conversation in the grocery check-out line? In the movie theater line? Just walking down the sidewalk?
Some people look at me wierd when I start talking to them! I do it all the time, but I have noticed that I am in the minority...
Isolate people from each other and the only form of communication that they will want is one that they don't have to work at... It's as close as your remote control.
Other factors enter in to the equation, but this is one that has just now rung a bell with me...
Sorry for the rant...
