Gary Vaynerchuk Quotes

Now we're e-mailing and tweeting and texting so much, a phone call comes as a fresh surprise. I get text messages on my cell phone all day long, and it warbles to alert me that someone has sent me a message on Facebook or a reply or direct message on Twitter, but it rarely ever rings.

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.

That's mostly what the Internet is, just passing the time. But unfortunately you are dealing with words that can have meaning.

I really use social media to keep up with what's happening.

Technology is changing the way we interact as humans.

I do think technology really has changed the way that we communicate with each other and texting can be the way to communicate and to kind of get up the nerve to say things that maybe you wouldn't say in real life, but that also comes with a price.
