Technology has really made the art of communication an impersonal thing.
In the past, you call a business, you'd either get the person you wished to speak with or a receptionist type who'd direct your call to them.
Now, you call a business and you'll likely hear this:
"Good afternoon, thank you for calling Initech. For ordering, press 1. For customer service, press 2. For a blowjob, press 3."
Whereas we use to meet a person we wanted to speak with, or at the very least give them a call, now we communicate by typing stuff in little square boxes with weird looking icons and faces tossed in for effect.
Or, we send text messages via phone.
My goodness, we humans sure are gadget freaks. I bet that by the year 2025, we'll have invented an electronically controlled arm that can be bolted to our toilet bowls that will wipe our asses for us on command and will be called into action by way of voice activation.
