Queen Rania of Jordan Quotes

I don't see the point of having 80 million people online if all they are doing in the end is talking to ghosts in the suburbs.

One of the great ironies of the social media era is that some of the least social people in the world created it.

I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging.

What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone, isolated on e-mail, in chat rooms, which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people.

Yo, it's helped me so much. I've connected with so many people that I've never imagined that I would ever know personally. I'm team Internet, for sure.

As the world grows and technology grows, it's getting harder to communicate and for kids to socialize.

We're in a hyper-connected world, and there's a crisis of connection. The first thing that God says about woman and man in the Bible is that it's not right for humans to be alone. Social media interaction cannot take the place of face-to-face interaction. If anything, it prevents us from doing that. We're staring into our screens for so long that we're forgetting to look at the people directly in front of us.

Twitter is like hugging. Just because it's hard to measure the return on investment doesn't mean there isn't value there.

For all its deranging effects, I am always grateful to Twitter for the interesting ideas it surfaces.

Twitter is an amazing thing; it brings footballers closer to the fans because so many of them are on there. I was cynical about it to begin with, but I have been converted.

Technology and communicating with people online or through a phone or through social media - it's a false sense of intimacy and connection.

The connection between someone in Leeds and a comedian in Los Angeles would probably never happen if it weren't for MySpace, so it enables friendship and connection far more than it limits it.

Social media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.

E-mail is a whole new way of being friends with people: intimate but not, chatty but not, communicative but not; in short, friends but not. What a breakthrough. How did we ever live without it? I have more to say on this subject, but I have to answer an instant message from someone I almost know.

My kids are really good with social media; that's really an important dynamic in our relationship with our audience, and it's a great way to connect.

The Internet is especially adept at compressing humanity and making it easy to forget there are people behind tweets, posts, and memes.

Internet has created the ability to connect people instantly.

I had been one of the earliest social media adopters, driven by a mix of curiosity and enthusiasm for the way in which it levels borders and connects people who couldn't really have connected otherwise.

Social media has changed our lives forever. Some continue to reject social media, refusing to become one of the sheep, but you just can't avoid it.

I think technology gives the illusion that you are connecting with people, social media particularly.

Everything in our lives is encouraging us to turn inward with all the technology that we have available to us.

I've said before I think the best thing about social media is that it brings people together and the worst thing about social media is that it brings people together. You're assuming that the people following you know what type of person you are and what type of humour you have.

I actually like social media, and I recognize what modern technology serves.

Twitter and Tumblr and Facebook, it's so amazing because years ago, when I was growing up and watching movies, there was no way for us to interact with filmmakers at all. You could send a letter, and you'd never know if you were going to hear back or not.
