A Scary Future for Personal Relationships?

I’m sure I’m like many others when I say I have a love-hate attitude towards new technology. I can’t deny that my work as a writer and a telecommuting accountant has been made much easier by the advent of word-processors, emails and online publication, but at the same time I feel uncomfortable about the way society seems to be shifting towards an ever increasing use of technology in personal relationships. That might explain why I found the book ‘Alone Together’ by Sherry Turkle such a fascinating, if rather sad, read.
