After watching the short film, you wonder, did this young boy find more friends in his virtual life than he had in his real life?
We have to think — was he left out of school functions or maybe teased because of his limitations? Was cyber-life easier for him?
What lessons can we as a society take from this? We are all different, but we shouldn’t have to be isolated because of our differences.
Technology is a great gift we have, especially for those with special needs. But we can’t allow it to limit people to a point that they are boxed in. Everyone needs a friend.
If you know someone that has created their life inside a device, go knock on their door — take them outside. Maybe out to lunch, a walk in the park – be that difference for them.
Be a friend. It matters.
