Curse of technology?!

One of the greatest benefits of technology is that it helps us camouflage our lack of civility and brutal behaviour towards others - especially the ones we don't like or care about. Just think of someone not answering the doorbell or a knock at the door. Imagine someone not turning or standing to talk to you when you meet them on the road and call their name. Imagine someone turning their back on you when they see you in person. 

But all these are perfectly acceptable in the digital world - mails and messages that never get replied to, calls that are never picked up, problems that never get discussed about. No wonder we find ourselves more isolated and alone than ever before in human history!  :-(

I repeatedly see people getting into an attitude the moment they don't want you anymore in their lives. Calls are never picked, messages/mails are never responded to, they resort to blocking you or removing you from their page and do all such things, except having the mind to discuss and sort things out. What hurts even more is that these are the same people that were once bent on communicating with you by whatever means possible, meeting you whenever it is possible and speaking all the nice words to you and about you. Don't such friendships deserve at least a decent farewell and a dignified severing of ties?!
