I remember the time when receiving a letter in the mail was exciting,
When friends would call to say hi and chat on the phone,
When people would meet in the local coffee shops to discuss politics, art or their family issues over a nice cup of tea or a delicious cup of hot choclate...
Now mail means statements, friends send each other emoticons, and the phone rings when a telemarketer, a pollster or some charity is trying reach a stranger! People go to the coffee shops to sip their coffee as they stare to their laptops' screen, sitting so close to each other and so disconnected.
