I'm seeing a lot of tech enthusiasts talking about how social distancing will make people more comfortable with video chats and virtual interactions.

I think the actual lesson of the pandemic might be learning the fundamental limitations of technology-intermediated interactions.

For every person having a remote working epiphany, there's another person who desperately misses going into the office.

For all of the fun Zoom hangouts, there's a lot of heartache about missed family dinners and casual drinks at the bar.

It's actually painful and undesirable to only connect through screens. It's better than nothing, but it's no substitute for the real thing.
