Yeah, the tech is really keeping people from talking to eachother.

all of these social media things are really more designed to occupy our time so they can mine information about us. shoot, even steemit does this to us. make an account for free and they need my email and phone number? Yeah right. I used the anonymous service to create this name.

Also, you can totally get around steemits free account sign up by making a brand new email and using Google Voice. Google Voice lets you get free phone numbers to use, it accepts text messages, phone calls, voicemail, and it emails it all to you or you can log in to google voice app and see it all there.

If someone wanted to, they could make thousands of free steemit accounts and they would never know. It is a joke they are trying to keep track of us here by paying us for our info to sign up.
