I just read a blog asking about social networking and it made me think. A few years ago "social networking" meant going out to lunch with other agents or attending a party, networking event or class. But today, its definition has been reduced to what online activities we do to connect with others. That's all well and fine, but here's my question:
How much of today's online "social networking" is really driven by a sense of isolation and need for connection to fellow human beings? Personally, I think we're starved as a culture for connection, healthy physical touch, and acceptance.
Your thoughts?
