Are we going to be alone together?

We are in the times where we are regularly, immensely and uncontrollably overwhelmed by the inflow of information. Nobody could ever imagine how our communication works, two years from now.


Say Facebook. Only established less than a decade, it had become so handful, so convenient in our daily lives that our social channel is never the same. It simply abuses the human psychology of needing other's attention to build a fastest growing social network in the human history. This accomplishment alone, could not be compared or measured by any existing methodology. In this regard, it's worth to realize how should we utilise Facebook as a social channel but not THE social channel in our lives. 


You have access to your circle of friends 's thoughts and emotions by just glancing through the posts. You are always keep up with trends and casual news, as long as you diligently browse Facebook every single day. (Just count how many minutes you spent on Facebook per hour in average. Then multiply by 24. You will be amazed.)


Being alone together, is an emerging trend especially for my ages and younger.

This inspirational TED talk addresses this worrying topic very thoroughly. I got heart-moved watching this talk, because what the speaker says is so matched with the reality. The future she foresees, is not so thrilling to know.

In fact, Facebook is better for observation on people than for interaction. 

Have a common sense on human psychology and a couple assumptions, you could see, people could be read like a book.
