How funny! We really are becoming lazy indifferent persons.. This cartoon made me want to contact someone :) though I would add:e-mailing, texting, then blogging and then ignore.
Ha! I'll never forget my babysitters ignoring me while talking on the phone at my house! Now the babysitters I hire to babysit my children probably just text the whole time while watching my little ones. Yikes! :))
love it! perfect. good to know I am not the only one. and I like how the two men in the drawing are essentially the same person but with different clothes/accessories.
I hear you, we don't even have a home phone line anymore.
I need to take a lesson from my Grandmother and write handwritten letters to my friends and family....how cool would it be to receive one of those in my letterbox!
Rarely do I find a commercial cartoon that explains me...this does. ~Mary ps some people think that is reaching a crisis point; I think it is just people overload reality.
very true and very sad. my husband and i blocked texts on our phones and guess what? we suddenly had no friends or family. no returned phone calls or email replies... nothing!
I think I'm the oldest thirtysomething in existence. My cell phone is the free one they gave me with the plan (my friend calls it the jitterbug after the one sold in AARP magazine!), it takes me 17 minutes to text, "hello", and I still send actual mail. (I am the butt of all my friends' jokes these days, but I am proud that I know how to connect with them when they need me!)
All this communication does get to be overkill after awhile! Between work, extracurricular activities and friends/family, my Blackberry/computer get a workout!
THIS IS MY LIFE!!!! Most recently I started telling people to @ message me if they needed a quick response because I gave up phone calls, emails and texting but now I can't even keep up with that so I just quit it all. Corresponding is a full time job!
I think the solution is to send an old fashioned letter / invite / inquiry though the mail. I will for sure see that... until I don't.
That reminds me of something Jerry Seinfeld said once about email: how offensive it really is because not only do we not have to see your face, but we don't want to hear your voice either!
I live in Manhattan with my husband and toddler son. Here's my portfolio website with magazine writing and branding work. For two years, I was the relationships blogger for Glamour Magazine, and now I blog for Conde Nast Traveler, as well. Follow me on Twitter or Pinterest. Please feel free to email me (hellojoannagoddard at gmail) if you'd like to advertise on Cup of Jo.
A Cup of Jo is a blog that I work on full-time to help support my family and young son. Without exception, A Cup of Jo's daily posts feature only products I genuinely recommend, and frequently use for myself and my family. Read on if you would like details about how I'm able to fund my work. A Cup of Jo features banner advertising, and my rates are set with small businesses in mind. Many of my sponsors come about organically, since they're brands or companies that I've always loved. A Cup of Jo sometimes includes affiliate links within certain posts, which means that we may make a small commission if a product is purchased through the blog. Of course, a reader would never pay more for a product; it's a branding relationship directly between the brand and me. Rarely (a few times a year), I allow sponsored posts, as long as they're a natural and positive fit with the blog; please be assured that I mark these posts clearly for my readers. As a final note, I sometimes feature my sponsors within round-ups, link lists or gift guides, but only when it's an organic fit and only when I would have included them even if they weren't sponsors; this editorial inclusion is never paid for. Please feel free to email me at hellojoannagoddard (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions at all. After more than five years of blogging, I feel truly connected with my readers, and my relationship with these incredible men and women is my top priority and, honestly, one of the great joys of my life. Thank you so much for visiting!

What does this say about our society? This is really sad. I think there was a NY Times article about this too. What will the future be like??
HA! sounds about right :)
I definitely had one of those weeks last week. Sometimes you just need some good old fashioned face time!
I hear you, we don't even have a home phone line anymore.
I need to take a lesson from my Grandmother and write handwritten letters to my friends and family....how cool would it be to receive one of those in my letterbox!
Here is the Times article:

This is great, and very true!

THIS IS MY LIFE!!!!
