Do computers give us human connections or less human connections?

I would say both.

Human Connections - People in this world are able to connect to other people through the internet. We are able to talk to one another inside a online game or even a chat website. This gives us more of a connection because we are able to talk to our friends in chat instead of the phone. Plus, we can actually save money because long distance on cell phones actally cost much more that online. (ex. facebook) Because of these connections, we can meet new people from around the world. (ex. online games)

Less Human Connections - When people talk online, they don't actually get to meet the person you are talking to. But some people would agree that talking to someone online is worse than talking to someone in school or someplace where you can meet. Because its good for your health (ex. not sitting around), you can actually talk to someone without getting disturbed (other people talking at the sane time).
