Electronic devices, mental health and social life

Devices and gadgets are a great additions to our lives, they help us perform our tasks faster, save money, and have more free time.
But, as helpful as they may be, we still need the our dose of human iteractions.
A therapist, or a traditional healer for example, relies heavily on human contact, trust, exchange of energy, and transfer of emotions.
It is hard for us to imagine these professions getting replaced by a set of computers, equipped with sensors, microphones and speakers.
This might happen in the future, where human looking robots could exhibit human-like emotions, send out vibrations, and react to them.
We are dealing nowadays with a myriad of psychological issues that resulted from the disintegration of the social fabric, due partly to the insidious, and the heavy introduction in our lives of machines that atrophied some of our human abilities, and replaced activities around which people gathered and socialized.

We are social animals, we live in packs. The illusion of individuality lead us to forsake our neighbors thinking in our egotistic illusion that we could override and snuff out our biology and nature. 

We did achieve a certain level of individuality, but that came at a rather steep price. Anxiety, acute fear, eating disorders, disruptive behaviour and a myriad of other social ailments that our forefathers who lived in closely-knit gatherings didn't suffer from. Those ills are nowadays a common occurence. 

We are all a part of a giant creature called humanity. Each of us represents a cell, and has its own function.

As a result of our estrangment from the very creature we are part of, we resort to all kinds of entertainment and extreme hedonism. Sometimes our pale surrogate manifests itself in an abnormal attachment to objects or animals that we elevate to the level of humans. Those are all but worn out substitutes that we resort to in  a vain attempt to fill out the unbridgeable gaps created by the introduction of these new form of separateness that was exacerbated by the heavy reliance on these contraptions in our lives.
