People have an insatiable need to stay connected to other people. Why else would millions of people be registered on sites like these? Why else would wireless companies continue to attract new subscribers?
Whether it’s a missed call or an email from a friend, it reminds us how close by someone is… even when they’re nowhere near you. I think it really originates from our fear of being lonely. Simply bumping into a stranger can remind us that we’re never really alone; but even being in a room full of a hundred strangers couldn’t equate to the pleasure you get from sitting with a single friend. Maybe that’s what you call the power of one.
I guess beyond just staying connected, what people are really searching for is the ability to connect with someone. And sometimes as much as we want to, we just can’t – if only it were as easy as connecting to the internet with a click of a button.
