Does the social fabric of your community seem fractured or dying out? I can't tell if I am just getting older or weirder, or if people are just less friendly and open than they were 15 years ago.
An acquaintance from South America told me that in his country people who can afford technology don't interact that much, but people in the poorer ghettos still "hang out" a lot.
In my area it seems like churches are closing or selling buildings, civic groups disbanding, meetups are less frequent, etc. What about yours?
Definitely fractured. Everyone seems to be glued to their mobile phones these days - and it’s not a trend restricted to the young. I see whole families looking at their chat channels or videos while having dinner - and not talking to one another. It’s sad
