It is an amazing thing to be connected to so many people, yet still be able to feel loneliness. We are all connected, but by no means are we all paying more than passing attention. My emo for the year has been completed.
Less emo and more observation, really. Despite the interconnectedness of the internet and the geometric rate at which technology advances there are still few substitutes for good old fashioned "hanging out". Physically being around your friends and family or just random strangers who are fun to talk to is far more rewarding than all the texting, ... See Moremessaging, skyping, phone calls, e-mails, blogging, ad naseum.
I give it less than ten years and they have technology that allows the face-to-face feeling of that interconnectedness on an easily attainable scale (I know it does exist now).
Until then, if anyone gets bored...I'm in Virginia :)
