A loved one recently
withdrew from the internet…completely.
No email.
No Google.
No Facebook.
He’s no longer online.
He found the internet
distracting to his project.
Now he phones me
regularly.
I don’t like talking on the phone.
Most of my business is online.
So I don’t often answer,
and we communicate much less.
This has changed our relationship.
Ours wasn’t the only relationship changed,
and that caught my loved one
by surprise.
He thought everyone would switch
to another means of communication.
They didn’t.
When you eliminate that 1-800 number
or that Facebook account
or that blog,
you WILL eliminate relationships.
Don’t assume that all your associates
will switch.
