Beneficial or Detrimental?

Technology has become an overly provident source of information within our modern society, as to many of our daily tasks are completed through machines such as computers, or even cell phones. One writer even goes to say how writing a letter just doesn't happen anymore and sooner or later, e-mailing will become a non-existent form of communication. Schools have incorporated technology into their curriculums, forcing students to learn how to use a computer in order to graduate. Services like text messaging, facebook, skype, all take away from communication. When one always knows what is going on because of constant communication, is there much to learn about when physically confronting them?
