Emoticons and Emails: Has Face to Face Faded Out?

I can remember the constant ringing of a telephone and the anticipation of receiving a letter. I recall the feeling received from a nice day out or of an evening spent with good company. The exhilaration of the “hunt and seek,” of dating and, yes, the often felt disappointment of “coming up short.” Nonetheless, the aspect of […]

Music: Has our Life Line Flat-lined?

Music. We nod our heads to it. We stomp our feet and snap our fingers to it. We sometimes catch a groove and bust a move. Almost everyone is a Mariah Carey in the shower. We depend on these sounds to heal, to feel, to cry, and to smile. They summarize our day in 4 minutes and […]

Celebrities: The Fake Reality We Idolize
