This was my birthday month. For a person who forgets most people’s birthdays, I got close to 50 people wishing me besides family members. This was high. For me. Though I have not counted how many people wished me in the earlier years, I am certain it was never as high as 50!
There was one difference this year vs. the previous years. Last year I was not on FB. More than half of all those who wished me did that on FB. A good part of the rest did it via SMS. Few called. Many who used to call earlier sent an SMS or wished on FB.
Do you feel the same? Do this exercise on your next birthday and let me know. I would reckon your results may not be very different than mine. Your overall wishes will go up but there would be fewer calls.
Which brings me to a question, “Is technology bringing us closer or making us elusive!?”
