Some schools are having programs to teach kids how to interact face-to-face.
Apparently that is no longer normal behavior these days.
If you look on Mark Zuckerberg's linkedin page he describes himself as "making society more open". He made society more *something* but I don't think open is the right word.

He is not really significant, if not him, someone else would have developed it.
Just one more step towards Bradbury's world.
I wonder what you would think of the product I'm trying to develop.

There's great leeway with regards to earning living... :)
But if evolution was truth, then in few years mankind would be nothing but ugly creatures with wide flat asses and two huge thumbs, with Spandex instead of skin.
measurably do have much more enormous asses. No word yet on thumbs.....
We all have been waiting for that moment of truth!
I'm gonna miss nice rounded asses. What happens to tits?
...apparently so many show other parts on it?
Titbook might be more appropriate.
"Titbook" ... Victor-again, your complete overview and understanding into the full application and potential of Facebook are invaluable. How long did you research Facebook before sharing your superior insights? Obviously you NEVER write opinions based on vague impressions rooted in ignorance and laziness.
Small, insecure minds.

Hardly a personal attack. You seem to have some very strong opinions on Facebook. Based on what?
I wonder if *you* see the irony of your criticism of Facebook presented on an internet forum? It seems to be lost on a few others.
"It is always like that".. Yes. Because digging through your pathetic gobbledygook is both laughable and insufferable.

if survives, just in few hundreds of thousands of years the homo-sapiens will be highly advanced being, spiritually* and intellectually.
*not religious, but highly ethical, compassionate creature that will peacefully coexist with other beings, and will harness but not abuse nature for the benefits of all.
Most humans, are just contributing in the numbers - and out of pure mathematics few will emerge superior who will hopefully pass their genes to further generations.
Consider yourself - just a 'filler.; along with billions of others.

Hmmm...I'm not sure where you live, but out here in California everyone who shouldn't be having kids is having dozens and those who should be having kids pump out maybe one or two, if that.
Doesn't bode well for the future.
And how can you be spiritually advanced if you're interfacing with a mobile device or laptop instead of the person sitting right in front of you. Not good.

Anyone remember Walkmen?
One thing's for sure - it ain't getting any better.
"Marshall McLuhan, (1911-80) gained fame in the 1960s with his prophetic proposal that electronic media, especially television, were creating a “global village” in which “the medium is the message,” i.e., the means of communications has a greater influence on people than the information itself. See Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964)."
This guy predicted that the "age of lecture" in which people listened and learned was ending and that the "age of dialog" in which everyone has the ability to discuss, regardless of whether they should or not, is leading us back to a tribal existence.
McLuhan had a cameo in Annie Hall. I believe he was standing in line at a movie theater.
I think "age of dialogue" is the term McLuhan used. I'm no expert on his writings but I've read that in his time he was criticized for not making judgments. I think age of dialogue may be a non-judgmental way of saying nobody shuts up and listens anymore, or everyone speaks up merely because they have the means or ability to do so which fits with his overall "media is the message" theme.
For example, the existence of Facebook or Myspace says more substantively than the people who use it. The existence of blogs says more than the people who blog. The existence of a forum such as this one says more than its participants. The existence of a talkshow exposing people's personal lives or a reality show like The Biggest Loser says more substantively than the participants ever will. If you agree, then it's up to you to decide whether these things are good or bad. If you disagree, then you may conclude that a particular medium is simply the means by which the real message is conveyed and the viewer/reader/listener/participant's focus should be on that message.
However, I don't think it's so cut and dry or either bad or good. The existence of media such as facebook and myspace is a bigger message to me than anything the people who use it could say. I think differently about film, music and some tv. Print media has been used effectively but it's dying.
...to think, to be able to put meaning in the communication. Anyone who has ever seen typical streams of verbal garbage will confirm that. Easily today 99.99% of all "communication" is just worthless junk, taking away the time and energy of its participants. Relentless texting leaves no room for meditation, thought, doubts. Writing a letter (or even typing it) promoted a thought simply because it took more time to do it.
Great quote, thank you!
