Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Greetings, MatthewMW! This is a nice little essay about the advantages of what technology has done for us, both young and old, and I agree with most of what you say. However, I don't believe that it's brought us closer! Granted we can keep up with each other and 'like' all we want with a just a few taps of our fingers, but people aren't really 'talking' to each other anymore. I'm 54, so I'm not quite 'over the hill' yet, but I miss the days when people, especially relatives, would talk to each other face to face instead of looking at them on a screen! It's not even close to actually being there! Yes, I know they said the internet would bring us closer, but I just don't see it! There's nothing like physically being with someone you truly love! Nicely done, though! The spelling and grammar was flawless, and you made some very valid points! My only suggestion would be to put this in a larger font to make it easier to read. Not all of us have 20/20 vision! Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend, and welcome to WdC! If you like to write, then you're going to love it here! PS-You might want to get your bioblock (biography) set up so we can know a little something about you (hobbies, favorite books/authors, location, etc.), but that's up to you, of course. PSS-And since you’re new here, perhaps you’d like to check out "Noticing Newbies" and introduce yourself to the rest of the community if you haven’t already.
PSSS-If you want more exposure for your items you can put them on the Please Review Page under Community on the left hand side. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
