I think people want real, tangible things. They want to hold them and feel them and interact with them. They want real relationships in real places doing real things. The virtual world dominates many of our lives from how we interact with people, work with people, and socialize (like this forum). As the virtual world has replaced more and more of our time it makes sense that we crave a physical, tactile space.
- chefandy 3y agoWhile I agree that people generally want these things, not everybody values them equally, and aren't willing or able to expend the same amount of resources and effort to get them. Most people value local stores which sell damn near everything they need and are staffed by their neighbors... but for many, the resource and effort savings afforded by Amazon are more valuable to some extent. I think that these things, to some extent, have become a luxury.
