Americans Are Connected... Sort Of...

Americans love to think they are connected. (FaceBook, cell phones, computers, ect.) Nowadays people get mad at other people that don't respond to a text, or check their FaceBook soon enough. At first I was happy that we are all connected like this. We can instantly contact almost everyone that we know. But then I realized that we don't ever utilize these tons of avenues we have for community. 

I have found, more and more, in American that we have much, expect more, and never utilize our blessings to their full potential, but if we don't have them we feel as though we are crippled. Crippled by not having the social connections we rarely use anyway! We want to know we're in the loop but we don't want to contribute to it.

Some Americans have friends outside the country, but most don't. America is just a big bubble that rarely reaches out anywhere else, but we like to know we have the means to.

Google is the same way. We have access to almost anything we want or need to know but we only use it for spell check :/ 

We have so much, why aren't we using it? You don't know what you've got til its gone I guess.
