The internet will isolate us from one another.

To me, internet is the most brilliant invention that a human being has ever made and it can be found in almost every sector in our daily life, ranging from online banking systems, online entertainment activities to remote education systems.

But it does have one Achilles' heel: it alienates us from each other. It turns out that we are not aware of spending more time on internet friends than real-life ones since we've been "addicted" to this cyber-life to some extent. We may tend to turn to the friends on QQ for help when necessary instead of our family members even though they are just strangers to us. Distance generates the sense of feeling safe, and that's my comprehension of such phenomena.

My view is that it shouldn't go this way any further. I suggest that we live an unplugged life on weekends, which will turn the alienation into precious quality time with our beloved real-life family and friends as well.
