  I can tell you it does not adequately replace any such thing. But more importantly, let's suppose it did. Knowing that nature often chooses the path of least resistance, what do you think would come of such a discovery? 1. A larger quantity of half-assed pseudosocial forum interactions replacing what was previously face to face interactions, because we can squish more people into ever more meager lives, netting a greater wealth inequality than ever before imagined, if more people lock themselves in their rooms and live at the edge of sanity, barking garbage text messages at each other over the internet. 2. An ambient increase rich lives that experience meaningful face to face socialization with healthy peers who genuinely enjoy each other's company. From where I sit, the odds seem promising that there is only one thing coming our way.
