Do you think Americans today are more isolated due to technology?

I do believe that Americans are more isolated today because of technology. We no longer have to speak to people in person, there are so many different ways to communicate. This is good and bad. It's good to be able to get a hold of someone through email, text, or social media because you are bound to get a quicker response. There is no need to go out of your way to speak to or call someone.  You don't have to call and create small talk that leads up to the purpose of why you called. That is also why it's bad.

Due to the advanced technology we use today, there is little need to speak to people in person. Because of this, we lose people skills. It becomes awkward when you try to talk to someone in person. Making a bad impress at a job interview can prevent people from getting jobs and experiencing different opportunities. We become dependent on technology and don't really have a need for other people anymore. A phone or computer can do just about the same things as a person. This isolates us from society. On a computer or phone you can find information, answers to questions, and talk/see other people.
