I think about how easy the substitutes for real human connection have become. Want a friend to make you laugh? Turn on Netflix. Want a quick hit of your favorite people? Pull up social media. Want intimacy? Fire up Tinder. This basic idea, that someone can deliver you a nice day around the city like ordering a pizza is maybe not so off base. It may seem like an incredible lack of imagination that people couldn't figure out what to do with a free day and a friend in NYC, but maybe imagination is in short supply these days.



Yes, I don't think that the answer to too much technology is more technology.
