Digital technology has also brought amazing advances into human interactivity and relationships. Today it is possible to be “virtually present” with someone on the other side of the planet, on an airplane, or even in outer space. We can “be together” with absolutely anyone, anywhere. Our actual location is rapidly becoming irrelevant. These technological advances are profoundly affecting humankind, forcing change on multiple levels. Throughout this book we will explore what these changes may or may not mean to humanity and our individual ability (and even our desire) to form and maintain meaningful interpersonal relationships both in the short- and long-term.
