connectivity

keeping in touch is a hassle isn't it? or is it just me?

as world technology progresses, i realize that people, though world-wide-web-connected, withdraw more than they reach out. because everything is right where we want it, be it at home or even in bed, there is no reason for us to actually be amongst people anymore.

with such conveniences, going out becomes a chore; something we need to make an effort to do. i'm connected to friends all over the world online, yet, do i really see them or even hear their voice? nope.

what's worst, even friends in the same city, i rarely see. oh, we ARE in touch. we talk, we write, we send each other messages. but we can't seem to find time to actually sit over a cup of something and really, literally connect.

so really, define connectivity.

that's the thing
example, how often do you call me?
even when you don't see me
