Connected, But Alone?

    The talk was about how technology and social networking sites can affect the way people talk with each other. She explained how even in board rooms and meetings are texting as well. If we feel lonely then most likely we will play on our phones. In the Ted talk she explained how some companies are making robots that can be like a companion to people who are lonely. I think her talk was amazing and she realizes that people don't want a conversation anymore. My questions are why does she think this will happen? If this is true then what will happen in the future?
