Wow, great article and good list. I have always said that social media has contributed more towards putting distance between one another. I have had people at church walk up to me and start talking about something going on in their lives. When I act surprised to hear this they say " wait, you did not read about this on my Facebook news feed?" When I tell them no, they are amazed that I am not connected. They also act like I am out of touch. I feel as if I am the only one who picks up the phone and tries to connect with friends outside of social media. I have a friend that i have known for over 20 years. We do not talk that often but when we do connect we will talk for an hour or longer. I value these conversations.
