Technology is slowly but surely taking the place of meaningful personal interaction in our society. Although it provides widespread benefits, it fails to (and will never be able to) provide the personal touch that face-to-face communication does. I just read an article about several valentines day apps that can order flowers for you, write poems for you, or create and send valentines day pictures to your special someone. This is not what the world needs! We are only facilitating the degrading of our society by taking the personal touch out of what used to be meaningful. A holiday that is supposed to be about affection and very personal feelings is becoming distant and reduced to electronic mail and pictures. So do the world a favor - go out and actually buy flowers yourself and make valentines day something personal, dont resort to having your phone do it for you.
I completely agree! We rely too much on technology and need to stop using it to do things that are better done on our own.
