From the Paper:

"Another negative aspect of the current globalization process is the dehumanizing of people. Because the world can click a mouse now and converse with people worldwide they are less apt to leave their homes and have person-to-person, face-to-face meetings. This new found way of communicating is a positive in that it connects people worldwide who might otherwise never have interfaced, however it can also prevent the face to face interaction that is so important to our mental health(Friedman, 2001)."
