I am curious if Albert Einstein really ever said this. Perhaps that is a testament to the statement itself regardless if he even did.

I have a smartphone and a Facebook page, 2 email accounts, and I regularly visit 3 different on line forums. It's all OK, I learn a lot and throw my opinion out when I feel I need to. But I was once told that communication was 60 percent visual and I believe that's true. I really like reading FB posts and seeing what folks are doing but for some reason I find it awkward to make small talk with someone when I can't read their face and body language. On the other hand I love seeing my grandkids growing up in real time.

The people in the images posted by the OP are actually examples of `human interactions` despite the fact that they are using technology. I don`t think the qoute is used in the right context.

In regards to a few of the pics in the original post. It's a moment in time, one frame less than 60 frames per second. That picture could have been taken with my group of friends last night at dinner. What it doesn't tell you is that we were using our smart phones to bring up pictures that relate to our every day "real life" interactions with each other. One of which is the wife whose husband is in Afghanistan. The fact that they can interact with a smart phone and we can all chime in helps keep everyone sane.

..........and the pictures posted by the OP ,taken at face value , do indicate a "lack of human interaction"

This is a game everyone I know plays now.
At any meal or gathering all devices are piled in the middle of the table.
The first I one to touch his or her device pays the bill for the whole table( exceptions made for people who have legitimate need , emergency service personnel, pregnant wife....)
It keeps the proper conversation going .

You have a great point about having friends because of technology whom you have never met. I've never met anyone on this site, but I speak of you often to the friends I hang out with.

In a way that sort of makes all of you my friends. This is a great site full of people with the common bond of Triumph motorcycles.

The knowledge I've gained from all of you is invaluable. Thank you friends.
