I remember once a time i was walking with one of my friends in a park when his cell phone rang, interrupting our coversation. There they were talking and talking on a beautiful sunny day , i became invisible , absent from the conversation…....

Alienation index goes up as the communication technology advances…..People have cell phone , email and voice mails in hand but still feel lonely…..why?

Do you have such experiences before?

Face-to-face communication is better than cell phones, emails and voice mails.

i think in a short time these high-tech communicating ways bring you convenience and short the distance between you and your friends,but we ignore that it is just a equipment duiring communicating ,it will filter the emotion ,it will extend the gap between you and your friends

feeling lonely is something natural as long as you dont express your true self to others and of course there are many things to highlight about this point, we might know some while other might be known by those who experienced it .

when you feel unhappy, pour out to your friends, then you can feel good.

Perhaps communication technology makes communication too easy and too cheap, therefore people don't value it.

In the past, people would sometimes have to wait weeks to get a letter from a loved one.

Now, they get emails or phone calls right away.
