In Response To: A Bunch Of People Are Getting Together!

I have to disagree with you here Jake.  If anything, the barrage of glowing rectangles has made my personal relationships, the times I spend talking face to face, listening to a band live, shooting a basketball, the pleasure of a spontaneous contagious laugh or a hug…more valuable, more rewarding and more important.

A reason for socializing is to exchange information so each brain can be refueled with the latest environmental data.

But now we get so much of that same information from the feeds on our rectangles.

Therefore, ‘hanging out with a bunch of people’ is more likely to be a waste of time.

In your world, has ‘hanging out with a bunch of people’ changed in the past few years?
