Digital Age causing Isolation?

Today, you see people on their phones than talking to one another face to face. This is the reason why so much drama gets started. When you text your friend, they can’t see the actual way you may have meant the message. So they can take something wrong and be upset with you.

What about families just sitting there eating while on their phones? Yes, while you are with people physically, the only interaction going on is being in each other's presence.

In other words, Hagan believes, it was hard for one to find someone to talk to back in the days. Technology has changed all of that.
