Here’s How Technology Connects Us
I live overseas from my family. Google Maps tells me I am 4,101 miles away from them. That is a long old way from a hug from my parents, a walk with my dog, or a coffee with my friends.

One of my best friends from high school, who I’m still in touch with, lives in Seattle. That’s even farther, especially counting the eight hours of time difference between us.

My friends from college all scattered across the country, and one is even in Australia at the moment.

The other day I read an article about how technology these days is turning us into antisocial beings who prefer to send emojis or memes rather than getting together or sending physical letters.

That point of view does make some sense to me. After all, the convenience of texting or just “keeping up” via Facebook updates far surpasses actually getting together or having a phone call. It’s frustrating when you want to see someone in person but they can’t be bothered to do more than just text.

But as the world grows bigger and we spread further, technology is what keeps the world small.
