Valid point. On the other hand, technology also enables closer contact with distant family/friends we’d otherwise rarely see
That’s true. Video calling has been invaluable for distant relationships during the pandemic, for example. On the other hand social media engagement often displaces getting together physically with local connections... Not good
Agreed. Virtual contact has pros and cons. It expands connections globally but reduces them locally at times. And it risks less meaningful interactions by keeping people behind curated online profiles, just like the two of us arguing ahaha

You make a fair point seeing only crafted online personas makes deeper intimacy harder and more isolation may result. Wanna meet over coffee irl sometime?
