Time is an enemy of relationships

posted August 31st, 2009 @ 04:17 — 1 comment

When musing about old friends, lost contacts, colleagues, social networks and the much expanded Dunbar’s number , I realized the new reality of our digital lives: Time is an enemy of relationships. We focus so much on the present and what is here, that we sometimes forget the past and what brought us here.

In some ways I think social networks makes us think of the future vs. the present – all this talk of Whuffie and social capitalism – has many people building their networks not to connect with real friends but ‘friends’ that serve a purpose. Time is only an enemy of relationships when they are built on weak foundations.
