Many things today can be done without ever needing to leave home. Websites for retail giants like Walmart and Costco make it very easy to order from home and have purchases ship directly. The internet has taken away the need for face to face conversation with another human being. Now people can just skype, oovoo, facebook, instant message, and email. Of course there are many more sites like the ones I just listed but those are the features and sites that I currently use.
I am careful to not let these things take over my life. The body thrives for actual, real life human contact and without it, some people can be at a large disadvantage. These can be amazing tools when businesses and personal lives are in a bind but it is not meant to disassociate you from the real world.
I totally agree with you! The body does need personal interaction with other people in order to be sociable and well-rounded individuals. Communicating with other causes them to be introverted people when addressed by another individual face to face.
