The Decadence of Human Interaction

Let's be serious for a second.

I see people walking the streets everyday. Going about with their lives, wondering where they go.
But I see all these people walking and talking on their cell phones or text messaging some friend on the net or on another phone.
Why can't these people talk to each other?
Have we gone as far as to isolate each other from everyone else?
What if the girl or guy you were sitting next to in the subway was someone who had an answer that could change the world?
What if that was the person you were meant to be with?
what if they had answers to questions someone else can't answer?
what if?
I see masses of people moving around as one but each individual is cut off from the other.
I'm not saying people don't talk to each other. I'm saying that people are slowly giving up on the idea to just "talk" to someone.
It is harder for people to meet others outside of chatrooms where one's feelings seem to be protected by the fact that they cannot see eye to eye with that person.
Finding someone has become and increasingly hard concept.
People are less likely to walk up to a person and hit on them then they are of revealing their real names on the net to someone they think they can trust.
I hope people realize that we're making it harder for ourselves by imposing a much demanding "screening process" in order to find a mate. The result of which would be the same (or worse) had you just tried to pick up someone.

People want sex. maybe relationships. Why are we making it harder?

Fuck this post is all over the place.. I'm too tired to structure it. If you get the gist of it, Discuss.

well i barely ever talk to stranger, tho i don't mind when people i absolutely don't know come and talk to me. i would probably also talk to random people if i wasn't afraid to bore them. see i live in a big city and people there are incredibly different, i have tons of hobbies, interests and such but i just don't get along with most people because we don't have much in common. once we're done talking about each other's lives we haven't got much to say to each other. i have very few friends with whom i can have lengthy conversation, or even just small talk basically anytime we meet and for an extended period of time. so when i meet somebody totally new, the conversation's usually over after a couple of minutes, a few hours at best. there's no point in talking to somebody for such a short time, especially when you're pretty sure you'll never see them again, and when you can expect the conversation to be perfectly boring for both of you, as you are going to be talking about stuff you've already talked about 100000 times before, like you, your job your kids or whatever.
i've switched schools many times in my life in different countries, and being the new kid, tons of random people came up to talk to me, i've probably kept contact with 1% of those and they were people i would have talked to anyways (hung out at the same places even when we didn't know each other, had the same activities, etc...). the 99% left are people i now have forgotten about and who have probably forgotten about me. kinda feels like a waste of time. when somebody's sitting in front of you in a restaurant, what's the point of talking to him about the weather or some other dumb shit. nobody cares, the guy's probably gonna have more fun reading his newspapers or calling his friends.
my point here is just that i'd rather have an interesting conversation with a friend over the net (i hate phones and cellphones and never use them) than a boring one with a stranger. i don't see the point in talking to someone unless you feel like you really have something to talk about together.
