I’m right in the middle of writing what I think is my best article ever. I really can’t wait to publish it! The working title is “Of Cell Phones Blackberries, Bluetooth and Love Lost” The central premise is that with all the amazing technology available to speed communication between people and between nations, the benefit remains to be seen.

Robert Imbriale puts it best in his recent book Motivational Marketing: “With the advent of computers, an interesting dynamic came to light. While we have more ways to communicate than at any time in history, we remain an isolated society.”

So all of our great technological advances may only be serving to keep us apart. Think about it. Have you ever ignored a voice mail, or an E-mail? Have you ever decided to deliver bad news with an e-mail instead of a call or a live person to person meeting? Cell phones, e-mails, and computers actually allow us to hide! (This in spite of the Bush administration’s best efforts!)

More from Imbriale: “We see each other in person less and less. We speak even less and rely more and more on e-mail.” “While we can do most of what we need to on a single computer screen, our hearts long for human contact.
