00:00 Technology cannot be a substitute for real-life interaction.
00:05 Communication through text appears safer, but is also duller.
00:11 It does not carry the warmth and liveliness of a face-to-face thing.
00:16 And it can become a habit to hide behind text.
00:20 Do not let that become a habit.
00:22 That habit simply means fear. Do not protect fear.
00:26 If there is something that cannot be said face-to-face, ask yourself,
00:30 "Does it deserve to be said in writing?"
00:33 Use technology to your advantage.
00:36 Do not use it to handicap yourself.
00:40 Technology must be used to do what you cannot do.
00:45 Technology must not become a substitute for what you already can healthily do.
