Not technology, but the way that technology is being marketed. Television has had a dramatic impact on the amount of time that people spend together outside of work, and the demise of many clubs can probably be laid at the feet of the network executives who put keeping their audiance glued to set every night above everything else. The internet and computers are actually bringing more social interaction to people's lives, with chat rooms, message boards, and online gaming. It can be hard to realize that most people never traveled more than 5 miles from their place of birth until just the last 100 years or so. 5 miles is the distance that the average person can walk and still return in one day. And many people lived in small villages, or an isolated farms, so they did not have very active social lives. Probably America in the 1950's and 60's was the epitomy of social interaction, and that was made possible by the technology of the automobile.

Is antisocial personality disorder the same as agoraphobia?
No, not at all. People mistakenly assume that "antisocial" means "shy". That's wrong.Antisocial means "against society" - in other words, an antisocial person is someone who doesn't care about people, or hurts them. Many antisocial people are criminals (though not all of them always are). Antisocials are people who have no conscience. It's a personality disorder.Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder - verydifferent.
