- Have each other at a distance we can control - The Goldilocks Effect
- We only pay attention to what we want to in a presentation, and never get to hear what we don't want to hear, this is a problem
- Conversations problem - we can't control what we want to say, we edit ourselves, we are just right, not too much, not too little
- Cleaning up relationships with technology
- Good for connection but not for really understanding each other
- Facebook makes up for feeling like no one is listening to me
- We're developing social robots for the elderly (robodog)
- We're lonely, but we are afraid of intimacy

"Here's a novel idea to save the planet: Remove the main cause of its woes - homo sapiens. The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT - pronounced "vehement") proposes the phasing out the human race. "When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth's biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, and evolve (if they believe in evolution)," offers the movement's website. But 'it's going to take all of us going'." See www.vhemt.org SOURCE: Email invite. I thought I was the only one who thought like this. Everyone I know thanks the universe that I didn't study microbiology. I would have developed a human-specific killer virus. WE are the vermin.
