Can You Hear Me? Quotes

“That’s what happens in the virtual world. There is an emotional void, which is precisely the problem. The virtual world is inherently uninteresting because it takes survival out of the equation. It takes human interest out of the equation. And it takes emotion—the basis of pattern recognition—out of the equation. What’s left no longer engages our deep connections with other people. A virtual conversation is not important to our unconscious minds (survival), it’s not engaging (human interest), and it’s not moving (emotion).”
