Lose person to person contact

We are gradually loosing the art of person to person communication. With the onslaught of internet and cell phone availability we are taking that personal touch out of our daily lives. If this keeps up we may loose that art of compasion and understanding towards those not related to us. In this day and age we really can not afford to lose the defining something that makes us human. Without our compasion and empathetic abilities we become no better than the animals that run on instinct alone.
