I told him there was no Internet back then to run Facebook on. He asked how I talked to my friends. I said I might call them on the phone - a landline, of course, no cell phones. Then he asked what I'd do if I wanted to talk with someone while I was outside. I said I'd walk to their house and see if they wanted to take a walk and talk a while. The incredulous look on his face was priceless. But also sad.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-27806266758136836602014-03-13T14:43:19.681-04:002014-03-13T14:43:19.681-04:00You are right!

However . . . although I think that real face to face interaction is vital to our lives, I also think that we have the opportunity to "meet" people we might not otherwise know and "see" places or cultures we might not otherwise experience.
