Is technology bringing us closer together or driving us further apart? Before my time on Warpcast, I would have told you that technology only separated and divided people. But, my opinion has changed. The right technology (tools) offer us even more potential to connect. The /insider-trading channel is a perfect example. It has brought a wide variety of unique people together. People I would have never met otherwise. What do you think?

I don't think technology is doing either. I don't think the tools change who we are, they only reveal it. Divisiveness will thrive in a small town meeting if the spirit of the people is divisive. Connectedness will find its place in a torn-apart world, whether in a coffee shop or a crazy purple app. I don't mean to say that outside influences don't affect us. I think technology has made it easier to be divisive by being behind a keyboard and treating people as a thing. No question there. But I think people will predominantly use tools to accelerate or accentuate what they already are. I don't think many people came to FC divisive and were won over by the atmosphere. I think a certain type of person has been drawn here...at least to the more inner circle of involvement. Great question!
