Live with People not Computers

Today it is possible for a person to live at their computer.  A person can do everything from ordering food, reading books, shopping, and making "friends" on the internet.  The internet has made it so a person does not need to interact with other people face to face on a daily basis if they do not wish do.  When a person chooses to live their life in the virtual world rather than the real world they can end up losing more than social interactions.  A person who lives in the virtual world can forget how things in the real world really are.  They can lose anything from their job to their family.  People can keep touch in the real world by setting bounds on their usage of the internet or by setting rules for a minimum amount of time spent with people face to face per day.  A person must not forget to keep touch with others in the real world in order to keep their own life in the real world.
