What can we do to bring back social interaction?
With the computer age, we are becoming more and more isolated. So what can we do to bring back social interaction? Many times you are talking with people and they are on twitter, face booking or talking on the phone. I see people out on dates and they are across from each other eating dinner and separately texting messaging on their phones, ipads etc. What do you foresee in the future in a world of twitter.

In my opinion, one of the best ways may actually be to harness the power of social media. Things like flash mobs (peaceful, and fruitful of course), and planned social situations can be enhanced by social media. I believe people still want to interact in a tactile manner, and to some degree, many are fooled into believing that social media is interaction. Social media, with all of its flaws and downsides, is the flavor of the month for now....lets just hope it never comes to this: The scene from "Demolition Man" where they have "touchless" sex....sad.
