Thought of the day: The impact of technology on human interaction

Had to share today's Hi and Lois comic.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

Hi_and_Lois Comic July 10th, 2011

Even though technology is very beneficial, there are downsides to it as well.  One being that many people are now out of jobs.  It got me thinking, while technology is a good thing,  is too much a bad thing?

There is no human interaction in any of these situations.  For example,  no cashier was there to smile or talk to them while at the grocery store, movie store, bank, or gas station.

Therefore, how do we use technology to our benefit but not lose or reduce human interaction?  People need to interact with other's - it is how we are created.  These changes may benefit our business but do they impact our development?
