🌐 The virtual world has influenced how we live in the real world, but we need to be mindful of its impact on our well-being.

📱 Texting and technology allow us to present ourselves as we want to be.
💬 Using technology for connection rather than conversation can be detrimental to relationships.
🤔 Online communication does not add up to real conversation.
00:08:54 In a world where people prefer texting over talking, technology has made us feel less heard. We seek connection through social media and robots, but they can never truly empathize with us. This realization is both fascinating and heartbreaking.
