We neeed to promote "FaceLook"

In this so called "well connected" world, everyone is leading a lonely life. While we spend lot of time surfing the net, be in FaceBook, Twitter, etc. and trying to connect to someone across the globe, or trying to find high school friend, we are totally disconnecting ourselves from our neighbor. We do not know what is going on in our own backyard, who is doing what and we stay disconnected for days without looking at anyone or without making a phone call to know the welfare of our friends or families.
What the society needs is a FaceLook. Look at the face of our own "Circle of influence" (as referred by Mr. Stephen Covey) often and take part in their happiness and sorrows. FaceLook not only builds healthy society but also a truely "well connected" one.
FaceLook is a not an old technology. It is a renewed methodology for the so-called "modern well connected world". It is the need for the current situation and hour. And yes, FaceLook does not have a website or an e-mail address !!

You are absolutely correct Srikanth. We seem to hide behind the monitor and lose the ability to connect with people in person. Even the kids meet less and less nowadays not even meeting as much just to hang out.

I agree with you Srikanth. It is only going to get worse. People spend time, money and energy on gadgets which become obsolete faster than one could imagine. More stuff everywhere and less care for the near and dear. Materialism at its peak, for eg. LCD to 3D TV transition, now they are telling our life will be in hell without a 3D TV in our living room. We are all trapped.

BTW nice blog, keep it up.
