Letter to the Editor: Is technology making us anti-social?

Dear “whoever”,
Just the other day I saw you in a restaurant, but you are looking at a glowing screen. The people you were with were carrying on a conversation without you. I didn’t feel comfortable interrupting just to say “hi” to my own cousin/grandson/neighbor?
What a wonderful story about being reconnected through Facebook/ Twitter/ Google with someone you hadn’t seen since high school! You might never have communicated with them again if not for technology.
By the way, I do hope you enjoyed that lunch you were picking at while typing away.  It looked wonderful, at the very least, worthy of your attention.
My question is, how do I communicate with you now days?
Sincerely (and I do mean sincerely),
