Sometimes, we're so attached with the world yet we are detached? How's that? Let the image and the quotes do the explanation : )
The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate. ~Joseph Priestley
Modern technology and media have made the world a smaller place. However, loneliness is still one of the biggest plagues in our modern society. As it is, we spend more time communicating with the world outside, and have little or no time communicating with the people around us. ~Fr. Jerry Orbos
The problem with communication ... is the illusion that it has been accomplished. ~George Bernard Shaw
The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives. ~Anthony Robbins
The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them. ~Ralph Nichols

Guess, I'm suffering from laptophobia, NO laptop phobia.. need a cure.. LOL, just a joke!
I'm probably guilty of that too. Good thing a get to be away from my mobile phones when I do my runs.
i think everyone suffers from that.. i mean when we dont have our phone we feel lost and disconnected
i can do without a phone, but please, the internet... :/
i hope i can lessen the want of internet though.
nice quotes.

Haha Whenever I missed-touch my phone in my pocket, I got that mini heart attack thought that I lost it haha :D
yes, feels so lost at times without the phone and the internet...but at least that would be the time to keep in touch with our loved ones - "in person"... that would be the best connection!
Ha!ha! I think I am not like this yet. I can live a day without my mobile phone. Its just a mtter of self-discipline 'coz anyway we don't used to have these gadgets before. Unless its work related, I agree! no excuse.
I can actually live without the phone, but never without the internet
Oh! Then I can say I'm not sick.. I dont really like txtng that much, I cant even consume my postpaid plan in its entirety of 499 a month. Hahaha! However, unlike Renz, I always lug ang camera with me. So alam nah! B-)
ako rin ata may laptophobia din pag at internetphbia harhar.. napaparanoid ako pag wala yang dalawang yan.!
the mobile phone has become the most accessible medium of communication. we tend to easily express our thoughts through text rather than saying it personally. whatever it is, emotion is still an integral part of communication.
May ganito na rin? haha... My friends and co-workers actually are not fond of texting me, they message me on FB instead because they know I spend more time on the internet than my phone. :)
I usually use my phone for important matters and of course, as an alternative if I don;t have a computer, that's the power of wifi and android. lol!
Cellphones today are really important means of communication. I lost three cellphones already but I did not nag myself because I don't have one and yes I was able to survive having no cellphones because I have noted all my contacts in a separate list so I don't need to worry at all.
technology do change the flow of communications! for example, it;s your birthday, before, when cellphones are in its peak, you will be flooded by text greetings yet now adays even your neighbor and family, will greet your thru facebook and twitter! :)
learned new here. thanks for the new vocabulary added to mine.
It's true. I learned to be antisocial when I got my bb, too busy sharing info to tweethearts. I'm making it a point now to lessen tweet time and spend more time again with people around me.
Great!! and well said Kathy! I definitely agree! ..thanks! and thanks to everyone too!!
hala pare pareho tayo ng sickness!!! lol!
but it's good not to have internet for a while.. to do some soul searching; connect to real people within your reach...
I like the comic strip. ^_^
omg. I think I need a cure as well!
When I was still living in Germany, my mobile was like the extension of my hand. lol
But three years ago, as we moved to the Netherlands, in a quaint, idyllic village (but still 20 minutes away from the busy metropole of Amsterdam).
You know, it truly improved the quality of my life.
Recently hubby bought me a new sim card because he wants to be able to reach me when I am doing my training for running. I had to adjust to get used to it again!
So nice to read and hear from you..Been learning from those remarks. Bottom line, we need to connect with our loved ones regularly (and with other people) with or without the technology! thanks!
