and as such

Of course, there are some things we cannot do without, any days these days, as some businesses are running almost entirely on electronic communications. From real-time face to face conversation with anyone who has a computer and a webcam, to some of these technologies that is shrinking too, as you can virtually do most anything with just a state-of-the-art mobile phone, with integrated music, email, cam, chat and browsing functionalities. But something that just came upon me a little while ago, while reflecting on my daily course of work is that, while all these electronic capabilities seeks to enhance our mobile communication capabilities whereever we go. From a business point of view, it's great. We save a great amount of time, hassle and manpower. But at the same time, on a much deeper social level, i think while it's great having conversations with anyone anytime, or even to send a sms note just saying "i love you". I think that relationships has exists on a much higher but superficial level, as do alot of friendships can be simply based out of convenience. You meet a friend, simply because it's convenient. There wouldn't be a need for a verbal invitation, just text someone when you're bored, and soon an answer will come from someone, "sure, let's meet up!", and there you go, off to meet someone simply because it was "convenient". You wonder if you really wanted to see that person in the first place, and does good old charm still exists in asking someone out for even a cup of coffee. But of course, i cannot debase any honest to goodness friendships and relationships that still exists out there as we speak.
