Social media and technology is keeping us connected with family, friends in ways unimaginable 15 years ago… However we have to be careful that we do not get too involved in the virtual world and make sure we keep our real world relationships alive and well!
Lets face it we all have Facebook and Twitter friends who have a unhealthy addiction to sharing stuff we do not need to know, or wish to make their life seem more interesting than it really is!!
Food for thought:
“Instead of of building true friendships, we are obsessed with endless personal promotion.”
