🌐 Navigating the Future of Socialization: The Dangers of 5G and the Importance of In-Person Connections 🌐 As a father, husband, and autism advocate, I'm at a crossroads. While platforms like Discord offer a lifeline for many—especially those with autism—I'm deeply concerned about the long-term impact of relying too heavily on digital interactions. The rise of 5G technology and the increasing convenience of online socialization might be distancing us from the in-person connections that are essential for our well-being. It’s time to rethink how we balance technology with the human experience, ensuring that we don’t lose touch with what truly matters. 🤝 Check out the new blog post to dive deeper into this important discussion! https://lnkd.in/e-8pbMsj #InPersonConnections #5GDangers #AutismAdvocate #FutureOfSocialization

Both are now in hiding for their lives. Why should we care about Venezuela? Because it can happen in the USA!
