Death of conversation?

Submitted by ub on

I personally do not have a problem with portable media because our devices facilitate our lives. In fact, my friend and I have developed: Dose Of News: All the news that's fit to download. Read all about it. http://www.doseofnews.com

But I strongly believe digital media is making people engage less and some may forget how to interact face to face. This worries me to some degree because I see too many people everywhere I go, from NYC to Shanghai seemingly obsessed with their smartphones and tablets.

As a former NBC News employee, who devoted nearly a decade of my professional career writing and producing broadcast news, I worry about the possible loss of credibility caused by a journalist's' self inflicted wound. I'm not alone and there are so many others sharing my sentiments, who have also covered news, while in harms way. More from AOL http://aol.it/1zTXwX6

The Federal Communications Commission is classifying broadband internet. And the reason this is happening is because the courts have told the FCC that it simply can’t enforce net neutrality unless it does. AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and others may not be too happy with this big idea.

Our NYC cold war decision. Do we want to shovel all this snow just to Bar-B-Q outside in our back yard patio, or eat inside where it's a lot drier much warmer...

You're all invited tomorrow evening to City Island, NY. If you help me shovel, I'll offer you a Smokin' neighborhood BarBQ.

My wife Yirong Soto and I pride ourselves in serving the freshest quality eats, with supreme service. We call it COOKING CUBASIA. <3 City Images​ * www.cimages.me RSVP: admin@cimages.me
