So close and yet...

Art by Elizaveta Porordina

The Internet is a real wonder, but is it so even when it costs us our social lives? Think about it: you communicate with so many people throughout the day, you exchange messages, pictures and a few laughs, but is your social life as good as when you actually SAW the people you consider your friends? Sure, it does help when those friends and family members are far away from you and you got no other choice but talking through the internet or phone calls, but aren't the ones that are far away receiving the same treatment as the ones that are close to you? Don't you hate going out with somebody and that they can't stop checking Facebook through their smartphones? I mean, if you'd rather be home and checking your Facebook all day long, why did you ever ask your friend if she/he would like to meet?

 It seems to me that the Internet separates people who are close and brings closer people who are separated.

Honestly,
Andrea.
