Cellphones give you the illusion true communication is actually occurring.  All you are doing is only exchanging pure information.  In fact, the present generation is nervous about face-to-face contact with others.  It is easy to deceive someone on the phone.  9/10 of communication is non-verbal.  With everyone so connected you would think the world is getting along better but it is not.  There are more wars occurring around the world then ever.  Cellphones give you the illusion you are truly communicating with someone.  But you are not.  Communication with someone is the hardest thing in the world.  Cellphones have not made that easier.  The paradox is that it is even harder now.  Not easier.  But harder.
