I hear you, @vibeof100monkeys (colorful avatar). We do need that time in nature, with real people in the same room, etc. I think it is not either/or but it is both/aand.
In my business I'm regularly connecting with people around the world., Recently I just visited England and Ireland and saw many good friends. We shared one or two pints, lots of laughs, and learned a lot. At the same time we connect regularly over socialmedia and that helps to keep the bonds going.
Both = the answer. I have friends scattered across the globe in many different countries. It would be impossible to see all of them on a regular basis without social media, video, etc.
Thank you for your helpful comment. Please come back and visit again,.
