Distancing ourselves, and our compassion

Tech can be a godsend these days. There is no doubt that FaceTime has redefined how I spend quality time with my best friends and family in Ottawa.

But as you've likely heard, tech is also responsible for our chronic loneliness. It gives the false appearance of connectivity, but all of us are removed. Weekly calls have been replaced by text chats and social media photo 'likes'. 

Though we may see posts that bring a tear to our eye, it is just as easy to shut out any real emotion online. And I believe that is breeding death of another kind... death to our humanness.
