Do you think people are getting closer to each other because of the extensive use of telephone

As the technology is improving,the use of telephone is becoming more and more acceptable these days.From my personal view,I don't really think telephone makes people more connected in some ways,but I also agreed with the use of telephone makes us closer in a physical way.By physical,I mean the communication method that we use telephone as a media to contact each other.Are we really getting closer to each other?if we look at relationship between people,the building and bounding is not based on telephone communication,rather than the conversations and flares created by this way.Using telephone isn't the reason how people get closer,but it does help people to get closer.
