Before social networking, people actually left their homes to do a variety of activities. While they were involved in those activities, they felt no need to check any "gadget" to see who was in immediate need of making contact. Those activities, strange as they seem to some people now, would include...face to face conversations, exercise, museums, libraries, movies, volunteer work, spectator sports, helping a neighbor, enjoyment of nature and more. The world of computers can be a great source of information....at the same time, it has created serious addicts who almost never leave their computers!
