I have a confession: I hate to be alone. Now, for my friends and family, this not a shocking confession. But it's true. I'm sitting at the kitchen table writing this blog alone and it makes me nervous. Inevitably, I'll have to check my facebook, or myspace, or virb, or work email, or school email, or personal email, or....just so I can feel connected to someone, somehow, even if it's for an instant via the world wide web. And am I alone in loathing aloneness? No! As we become more connected, through blogging, email, chatting, text messaging, and a myriad of other formats, I can see the need to be connected on a hyper-personal level to another human being in most everyone around me. And I don't think this need to be connected to others, and the resulting connection, is a negative aspect of modern society. What do you think?
Robby is planning a blog on the idea of nonprofit connection and collaboration, so be sure to check back over the next couple of days for that.
