☎😄☎

"In today’s society, technology has connected us more than ever before. We can instantly connect with a friend or family member thousands of miles away in an instant. The internet has made long distances and different times zones no longer large obstacles when it comes to communication.

However, these advancements in technology have also had quite the opposite effect, as well. We are so accustomed to having so much at our fingertips that we often miss out on a lot of life. Our smartphones and the internet grant us access to social media, emails, instant messaging, and so much more. However, all of these options give us too much to focus on.

We often bounce from one task to another or even multitask. Text messaging and direct messaging on social media allows us to not respond to a message for days at a time. These new ways of communication can make us feel less connected than ever before.

With the holiday season approaching, we are even busier than normal. These channels of communication become even more crowded than before, making it hard to keep up with one another.

That’s why taking the time to reach out to a friend via phone call is so important."
