Long, long ago, somehow you became aware of a friend's birthday. By some process, you made the effort to "remember" this birthday and you made the effort to send the person a card, or wish them a happy birthday.
In the Facebook age, I post my birthday in my profile. My friends have an app that sends me a "happy birthday" message when my birthday comes up. I haven't looked, but there's probably an app that will allow me to respond "thank you" to all of my automated birthday wishes.
If there is no effort involved in a relationship, how much value is there in that relationship? Have we devolved into relationships between apps, instead of meaningful relationships between people?
