The idea of real interaction verses virtual interaction. All too often, I debate over it. I almsot skipped a great dinner with friends for a twitter chat. It took my roommate pointing out that I would rather interact virtually then in real life... It isn't easy to step back but once it is done, there are worse things that could happen and you usually end up having a great time. Every person in social media should have to read this. Well done and I hope all if well with your family. Teresa Mark-

People are too caught up with telling what's happening instead of actually experiencing it themselves. On the flip side, it's great to be able to socialize with such a broad range of characters. Social media is great for building connections but it's up to you to actually follow through and make them worthwhile face-to-face.

I agree it is important to not lose touch with reality especially when technological advances make it so difficult to not be a techno-zombie. I went to Eruope for 4 weeks in 2007...without access to a cell phone and extremely limited access to email. It was amazing and really put things in perspective. Now I an put the cell phone down or close the laptop when necessary in order to actually enjoy life. Great post Mark.

I keep it on my desk because I need reminding. If I could remember where I found it, I would credit the source but it is worth keeping in eye shot. Especially when I need to listen more than talk.

All though seeing Fan us on Facebook all over gets me back in the mindset! :) I would have to credit my dog for giving me some breaks for getting me away from all the social networking sites and Joining a workout club to detach a little has helped.
