"So, to  compensate, we have FaceBook & Twitter?  Why the alienation?   
Even niche formats fragment our interaction.
Bruce Springsteen  wote/sang "57 Channels & Nothing On"    I long for the 
days  of Top 40."
 
Facebook and Twitter? These are both just sophisticated forms of  texting. 
You post your your life story on a billboard and people look at and if  they 
like what they see. If they do they are your friend. Then you look at  theirs and 
see if you like what they have written about themselves you are their  
friends. Then you have to guess whether or not you are talking to the person  in the 
profile or some 90 year old guy. Deep and  meaningful personal relationships 
today.  
 
I live next to Asbury Park and I am not allowed to say anything bad  about 
Bruce Springstein or they will knock me off down here. 
 
Today he sings about the lack of social interaction and  socail disconnect in 
Radio Nowhere. 
"This is radio nowhere. Is there anybody alive out there? I was sitting  
around a dirt dial 
Just another lost number in a file. Been in some kinda  dark cove. Just 
searching for a world with some soul."
