On Disconnected Connections


Growing Fonder or Farther?

We're friends but we don't phone. We tweet but we don't text. We like but we don't love. We're connected but we're disconnected, in a world where life's intimate moments are on display for the whole universe to see, but not touch. Breakups and makeups, births and deaths, successes and failures fill our dinner conversations, gchat exchanges, and text messages, as we grow connected to the disconnections of our past, present, and future. We congratulate ex-lovers, offer condolences to acquaintances, and facebook message enemies while maintaining an arms-length distance the size of an actual arm plus an army. Enjoy!
