What we need is a more open society where it's okay to speak with- and call people again. We also need the Internet where humans get to know each other without going to some dedicated "social" or "dating" service. In the past I've been on websites where over the years people made real friends - naturally, without trying. People formed groups, met in real life, maintained long-term contact internationally. Problem is, Web 2.0 destroyed most such websites.
- cableshaft 10y agoI don't disagree with your open society point, but social networks do work for maintaining social groups and setting up meetups. I get together with people for dinners, game nights, movies, and other types of events set up with them all the time, (mostly Meetup.com, Facebook, or group texts). But they're only tools. They merely facilitate, they don't force it to happen.
