Is going contact-less making us care less about each other?

This question ended up creating two sides in a way - those who are perfectly happy to connect with people via social media, text and technology and those who prefer the energy of being in the same room.

 

But even those who are okay with building relationships via tech, out of sight, out of mind is a real thing.

 

I consider all three of the guys on this panel to be my friends. I have not met any of them in person (yet). I'm lucky, Quick Hits gives me an excuse to be in touch and get to talk to my virtual friends on a regular basis.

 

There have been plenty of people who have told me there social skills have deteriorated because they no longer talk to people face to face.

 

Thank you to Dr. Wayne Buckhanan, Stewart Wiggins and Gary Fredericks for sharing their experience and opinions with me.

 

Do you think that using self-checkouts and ordering online is making us less empathic and not as caring?
