More and more of us are spending our time communicating online. It’s quicker, more convenient and we can simply delete all those obnoxious forwards our distant relatives send us about politics, rather than get stuck in a conversation with them.
We can text our friends rather than call. We can read brief summaries of the day’s events rather than purchase a newspaper. We can order food, clothes and even pay our bills online. Life is good. Or is it?
