You still remember the world pre-internet. When you can go outside, meet people, and when you connect you block the use of a phone line.
That's not how we live anymore. Now you're connected from the day you are born.
And kids, just watch kids interact. They're using the internet to make the kind of connections you and I just don't understand.
They're seeking levels of comfort and intimacy and it can be given to them from around the world.
If you're transgendered and the struggles or problems you face can't be related to your neighbor. If you're dealing with issues that your family doesn't understand or don't want to tolerate, where do you turn?
Another person half way around the world to someone who aches for connection is more real than the crowd of people he's in.
So when people latch on to this idea that technology isolates us, I say you don't think big enough.
You're physically in a body but your mind's free with the internet. And that's just amazing.
