High technology helps us approach others in unimaginable ways, but it also serves as a warning to our relationships—it makes face-to-face communication rare. Many people wonder, if they can call their mother, why bother going to see her in person every weekend? If they can leave a voicemail for a long-lost friend, why bother calling to hear their voice? If they can communicate via phone, why drive to meet a client? Many of us find this method convenient and economical, so we rely on our secretaries, assistants, children, friends, or partners to communicate for us. Or we simply retreat into the virtual world: holding meetings, conducting business, making friends—all activities conducted on the cold, impersonal surface of telecommunications. Once, while drinking coffee at a Starbucks in Pudong, Shanghai, by the Huangpu River, I noticed a young man nearby using a small, sleek laptop, so engrossed in his work that it seemed as if the world only revolved around him. His face was expressionless as he chatted on the computer, completely oblivious to the living, breathing crowd around him. He was completely captivated by the virtual world, deeply enchanted by the beautiful internet.
World-renowned potential expert and efficiency enhancement master Brian Tracy says, "80% of a person's happiness depends on their relationships, and only 20% comes from within." If someone has poor relationships, it seems they are unlikely to be happy either. Moreover, from this statement, one's happiness has little to do with the tools they use. Modern, advanced people don't seem to experience much more happiness than ancient, less advanced people. Modern communication tools haven't brought us much additional joy. Because once these convenient tools became available, face-to-face communication became a luxury and grew rare.
In my training sessions, many participants often tell me that they live in the same city as their parents but only see them once a month, having grown accustomed to communicating via phone. While writing this article, my phone kept receiving text messages. I know that this convenient method has had an impact—it has made meeting an old friend a luxury! P11-12
