Are we losing the art of genuine connection in this digital age?
In today's world, our phones and messaging apps have become an integral part of our social lives. But here's the catch: while they keep us connected, are they truly fostering meaningful friendships, or are we missing out on something deeper?
Jules and Jez dive into this complex topic, exploring the fine line between digital convenience and real-life interaction. They share stories of how some of us might be missing out on the personal touch, like the cleaners who go unnoticed, while others find unexpected connections through these apps.
But here's where it gets controversial: could our obsession with news and media, especially the dark allure of mafia content, be a form of escapism? And what about that heartwarming story of a message in a bottle, found on a remote beach in WA, that reminds us of the power of human connection?
Julia Baird and Jeremy Fernandez, your friendly neighborhood presenters, bring you these thought-provoking conversations every Wednesday afternoon. They want to hear your stories, your opinions, and your take on these modern-day dilemmas.
So, are we re-wiring our friendships for the better, or are we missing the point? Join the conversation and email the show at notstupid@abc.net.au. Let's discuss and find some answers together!
