Social media seems to be all around us.  No matter where you turn you hear about Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and the like.  Connecting with others had never been so easy.  However, have you noticed that we aren’t connecting with those we know?  I think all the social media sites have made it so easy to connect with others in far away lands that we have forgotten about those in our own backyard.

When was the last time you called your friend instead of just texted or emailed?  When was the last time you got together in person instead of talked on the phone?  Has social media made us lose our social skills?

When it comes to people you have to connect, in more ways than one.  Sometimes text and email or a Facebook update isn’t enough.  As nice as a Twitter what I’m doing is, isn’t picking up the phone and actually talking to someone an extra something special?  I think we have gotten so comfortable behind our computers that we have forgotten to have that human touch.

Whether it’s personal or business, go that extra step and reach out to your friends, family and customers beyond that of just an email or social media update.  That little extra personal touch can really change the lives of those around you.  If you are in business it can really make a difference when you connect with your customers in the good ole fashion human way not just the electronic way.

Reach out and touch someone, see what happens.
