After reading the article: That was truly amazing. I don't honestly know what I'd do in that situation, but I tend to drop into comedy, so I'd probably had told him to stop a while ago. But, the degree to which we're interconnected digitally serves as both a form of disconnection from ourselves and humanity, and sometimes it ends up bringing us closer.
When I moved to the SF Bay Area three years ago, I left behind many friends. Including people I had just met at Gallifrey and San Diego Comic Con. Through Facebook, Twitter, IM and e-mail, I managed to built relationships with these people beyond those few hours in a cosplay costume at those conventions. I'm happy that technology is here, otherwise, I'd have fewer friends and progressive onset of self-destructive spiraling depression.
