Ted+Talk+3

media type="custom" key="6430761"I have to admit when I saw this Ted Talk on intimacy, I was totally thinking in a different direction. However, it was quite interesting despite my preconceived notions. Intimacy, our closeness to family and friends, our ability to communicate at any time. I think this gives us the ability to maintain the close relationships we all yearn for. The example of using Skype to have breakfast with family members from other countries is brilliant. It gives people the sense of being together, with distance not being a barrier. This Ted Talk also gets to the point that many are trying to ban the use of digital communication in many settings. The fact is, to fight it will be a battle never won. It must be embraced. Get on the band wagon. Find a way it can work in different environments. Find a way kids can use cellphones appropriately at school. The more restrictions, the more ways to get around them. Having intimacy on a consistent basis with those you care about, will hopefully improve moods and attitudes. Find a way to make it work, because everyone else is already a step ahead.
