my 94 yo gpa is calling his homies ALL DAY LONG. ill see my best friends between once a week to once a month and texting comes and goes. if i got a phone call i assume its an emergency

> First television, then internet, then smartphones

i like vr so i sometimes wonder if itll catch on and if were in the "we know one or two people with a tv" era of the early 40s. theres certainly seems to be a financial incentive since it seems like tvs and phones have gone about as far as we can take them. its also certainly seems like a another leap down the isolation path as well

luckily i think most people reject vr bc it sucks to wear something on your face

edit: grammar (still bad but better)

Older people grew up socializing constantly so they can just start talking to strangers like they've known each other for years, especially if they are from the same town.
