I guess we always knew that 1000 Facebook friends and constant IMs doesn't add up to a single IRL friend if you're physically isolated in your room. The mind-body knows the difference. Maybe we have to make a better distinction between connectedness/company and being disconnected/alone for that conversation to make sense?
