Dehumanization through Technology

This past week in class, one of the ideas that has stuck with me is the thought if technology dehumanizing us. In my life I can actually provide an example of this that I experienced. When I first started college several years ago, I witnessed the social revolution known as Facebook. I remember the first invite I received to join, back when it was just restricted to college campuses, and thinking that it will last briefly. Now almost everyone has an account and "Facebook" me is part of our vocabulary. Human interaction moved to a realm where face to face was not necessary. In doing this we lost an important piece of what it is to be human and communicate through speech.
