Sex Drive

I was reading a blog article entitled 7 Reasons Your Boss Should Send You to Sex Conferences (wired.com). There were certain points in the article that piqued my interest. Something for those people who refuse to engage in Facebook etc. to think about.

When today's youth get out of school, they're going to remake the world the way they want it -- and that means tech will be an essential ingredient in courtship, romance and sex. It's so essential to young people's communication now that they don't even realize they're doing it. And this is at a time when they're still spending most of their time surrounded by their peers. Just wait until they're out of school and in the workforce.

Isn't that the major criticism of tech-mediated relationships, high-tech jobs and constant connectivity -- that we lose touch? Personal interaction is key to building a Web 3.0 we can all be proud of.
