Yes, because (what you said) technology like cell phones and tablets tend to distract us from talking to people that are right in front of us.
No, because it lets us talk to people all over the world. In that sense, it brings the world closer together. I think the vast majority of people I talk to online are foreigners. I like talking to people from around the world, because it has opened me up to different insight/conversations I'm not used to.
That's a worthy point. I have quit social media so I find other, more old fashioned ways of keeping it touch with my friends overseas, like writing them letters.
But you're right there's no doubt it is an amazingly convenient and innovative method of international communication.
Is it normal modern technology is making people anti social?
