I know a psychologist who told me once that since the origin of the cell phone and in particular the smart phones we, as a society, have actually become "addicted " to having to be connected. No one wants to be alone anymore. Being an only child I cherish my alone time. But most people need to know they are connected. This forum right here is a perfect example and I'm as guilty as anyone. At this very moment I could be out talking to my neighbors who I see in our little cul de sac milling about. But no-I'm sitting here typing.
See ya/
