Cultural Shift

I believe a cultural shift that occurred in America that caused people to begin moving away from the idea of a group and become more self-geared is the technological revolution.  As we become more technologically advanced we have more ways of communicating with others, voicing our own opinions from the comfort and solitude of our own homes rather than getting together in a group and discussing everyone's opinions.  Everything today can be personalized, such as a myspace or facebook page, even this blog - it all shows personal opinions that can be sent to millions of people without actual human contact with millions of people.  While this technology is a great way of getting a message across to a lot of people in a fast and efficient way, are we missing out on the human contact we really need?
