The document discusses the effects of modern technology on today's society. It notes that while technology allows people to meet and communicate over long distances, it can also isolate people, change behaviors and attitudes, and in some cases harm people. The document includes several polls that show most people depend on technology to some degree but have mixed views on whether advances are necessary or if social networks are needed. It concludes with a quote about using technology advances to increase efficiency without being burdened by new processes.
