I cannot quite agree with what you say. Your post would have been more truthful if you had said that tech CAN distract us from what is really important in life, but instead what you wrote reads like an assertion that tech ALWAYS distracts from what is important in life, and that simply is not true. Used wisely, technology can enhance quality of life, help us to maintain stronger friendships. Oh, and you can develop a meaningful relationship over the Internet, or at least in online worlds like Second Life. I should know, I have been in a very happy relationship for over a decade now.
I respect your point of view, I have had friendships over online and even met some of the people in real life too. Tech can be a tool for communication but it shouldn't be the communication itself. Talking to someone in real life is a more complex experience than talking someone over online, it is more "human" to talk somebody in front of you, with all of your senses can feel and know that person is with you.
