I wish It were a matter of choice (what you understood from my message) that
made people not "to want" to connect.

Technology (modernity) is not a solution in many cases, but it is sold as
such. You can tell me that people now can communicate more than ever. In
essence there is no difference to talking or meeting someone personally, or
writing by conventional mail, telephone or fax. What is important is the
result. I wish we could state that those older generation of computer users
are less lonely...
