and that the number of close friends that American have has dropped from three to two Meanwhile, the
Boston Globe reports that this spreading isolation is experienced more sharply among those with less
education, people of color, and older Americans Unsurprisingly, those who are young, white, and well
educated tend to have stronger social networks
From my own experience I have to say that I’ve never felt more connected, thanks to a web of friends,
family, and colleagues One of my closest friends is someone I met through an online discussion group
who lives hundreds of miles away from me We have met face-to-face only twice, yet our regular
electronic correspondence and cell phone calls sustain our close friendship And, speaking of blogging, my
blog has introduced me to people I would never have met otherwise and has led to enduring and important
friendships

Americans have become I had just wrapped up a presentation on mediation at a family therapy center As I
was leaving, I noticed a mother and her teenage son who had just completed their session with their family
therapist After making their next appointment, they both took out their cell phones, placed calls, and began
