"Internet's impersonal touch could doom the high street." Marketing Week (Sept 28, 2006): 102. Student Resource Center - Gold. Thomson Gale. Centennial High School (MD). 12 Dec. 2006 http://find.galegroup.com/ips/infomark.do?&contentSet=IAC-Documents&type=retrieve&tabID=T003&prodId=IPS&docId=A152040904&source=gale&srcprod=SRCG&userGroupName=elli29753&version=1.0.
In my research, I found another way people use technology and avoid interaction with other human beings: online shopping. The holidays are here soon and shopping at the mall or common stores is pretty much disastrous. Online shopping is an easier way to get through the holidays alive and shopping online is definitely an advantage for people especially the elderly people who aren't very mobile or people who honestly dread shopping but it lacks the WONDERFUL experience of going out with the kids, picking out presents for the grandfolks, paying ridiculous prices, and waiting in those horrendous lines. Okay, so maybe it's not all that great but its an example of technology lessening human experiences this generation's parents had when they were kids.
There was one statement I came across when reading this opinion that opposes the social issue of impersonality:
"Nothing quite beats the impersonal touch."
Im curious of others opinions on this topic and would like to know what leads others to this conclusion?
Do people prefer living in technology or human interactions?
