We engineered the world for comfort. No lines, no friction, no small talk, no interaction.

Everything you need, delivered in a click. But this comes at a cost.

It costs us the opportunities that didn't happen because we weren't in the room.

It costs us insights we never heard because we muted the conversation.

It costs us the ideas, friendships, and laughs we simply missed out on.

They sold us on isolation, and we bought it. The bill might not be in dollars — but it may well be the most expensive thing we ever pay for.
