civilization must grow & learn to stop retreating behind the many virtualizations of self. cellular phones, email, messaging clients, blogs - beautiful instruments to manifest want and need, illustrate connections and beliefs.
be a responsible human in the network: answer incoming phone calls, return difficult emails, take down away messages, and moderate your comments.
finding comfort in isolation, to disconnect, using the veil of virtualization, will destroy us; crippling our rich and meaningful interactions; reducing every one of us to paranoid narcissists, spokes on a wheel that turns with no guidance from us.
consider the human that is every thumbnail in your handset address book; consider yourself; answer your phone; I am sure they miss holding your hand.
