I completely agree with this. I worked 3 years remotely out of India for a company based out of London, with mostly remote employees. I have yet to meet a single colleague in person. While there were times when I had literally not stepped out of the front door of my house for upto a week, it suited me just fine since I am an introvert and loner. However, the days when I did step out, I ensured that I met my friends, a lot of whom were non-technical and also that I 'did' stuff. Basically, unplug and live in reality for a while. Don't think about tech. It's easy to do and quite gratifying to be honest. I think a lot of people in the tech industry live in the mistaken belief that technology and technological pursuits are is some way more 'creative' and 'intellectually stimulating' than anything else out there and feel compelled to surround themselves and live in this bubble consisting of other geeks as themselves. This obviously is not true.
