Jeffrey Leiken writes about the changing nature of relationships and the impact that technology is having on the way we interact. He suggests that technology is preventing us from truly being together and “hanging out” long enough to really make meaningful connections. We plan and socialize around activities rather than planning to be together and then creating the activity.
