Humans are evolving because of protocols that they create,
but the control structure of categorization has fallen behind. So many people
are fighting the change that new alternatives to past activities are seen as
unhealthy. For example a statement in the article says that face-to-face
meeting is actual socialization is actual socialization while meeting and
talking through social sites is considerate a passive unhealthy relationship.
While I personally believe that face-to-face interaction are much more healthy,
the idea that new ways of interactions are instantly regarded as unhealthy
shows that people are not willing to accept change. Many people are meeting and
socializing physically with just as many if not more people on a daily basis
then their ancestors ever did because of new transportation and different types
of work. On top of this physical interaction these people also interact with
more people on the Internet. I think that a major problem isn’t that they
aren’t socializing with people face-to-face, it is that each interaction is
short and the relationship is not well defined. There is too much of an
illusion that the people we interact with online are more important than the
physical interactions. A simple chat on Facebook could be regarded as a successful
social interaction and a true connection with that person so we no longer feel
the need to physically interact any longer. Humans haven’t become completely
used to the idea that a simple text message isn’t the same as a physical hello
and shake of hands. As time goes on and everyone is connected through phones
and the internet I think that people will start to realize that more is gotten
out of physical interaction that from messaging. We are currently in a
transition time and we haven’t had time to properly become used to the new
interaction tools that technology has given us.
