I agree with pforeman. "Networking" has been around as long as people, it's just been adapted to recent technology and many have lost their non-techno social "network".
We have many social webs, through neighbors, friends, family, Church, clubs and service organizations, and so on that have nothing to do with technologcal devices. We need to remember those, and get back to makeing better stronger ties in them as tech. may not always be available.
