no. technology cannot alienate people. it's like guns. guns don't kill people. people kill people. even with our advanced technology, people still have choices. technology as nothing to do with what choices people make. influence people? yes.....but the choices people make still come first so don't be blaming technology when we still have our choices

lol
Does a sword make us weaker? The caveman who wrestled and pushed a deer down a cliff just to earn his living, was probably a lot stronger than a Samurai. Does a gun make us weaker? The Samurai, who's strength relies in swift and powerful strikes, is probably a lot stronger than a Sniper sitting up in a building, holding his breath and waiting to pull the trigger. But the weapons aren't to blame. A weapon is a tool. A tool is something that makes the general procedure of any given aspect more efficient, hopefully. How this greater efficiency affects the people/things involved in the process, can not be blamed on the tool itself. In this case, the internet gives us a generously easier way to communicate with an infinite amount of people. Sure, the presence of something like this makes the average Joe Bloggs want to stay at home and chat/game, where he could otherwise be outdoors Trick-Or-Treating. That isn't the inter-net's fault of course, it's Joe Bloggs who is unable to find the right balance between outdoors and indoors life, that is to blame. Same thing with most technology, they are made to benefit us, but when we grow slothful in the presence of these tools, we are to blame for being too darned lazy!
No it doesn't lol!!
Technology is actually bringing people much closer these days..
Look around you pal, cellphones, the internet...etc etc...tv channels,
The list is endless...depends on the person and how much they want to be involved with others, period.
