The document discusses how human development and communication have historically been based on in-person, face-to-face interactions, whereas today people have become increasingly dependent on technology and social media for communication. While modern conveniences have benefits, some argue it is negatively impacting people's social skills and increasing isolation as personal interactions decrease in favor of online interactions through devices. The document suggests finding a better balance by limiting social media usage and prioritizing real-life communication.
