I often used to go 4 or 5 days without seeing another human to interact with. Of course, I was at 7000 ft on the side of a mountain, living in a cabin with no phone service.

I loved it. And if I wanted a conversation the dogs were always there.

48 hours?

Pikers.

‘digitally dominant’

I suppose that could describe their romantic life too...

[Fast Moving Angel]

48 hours? BFD. I’ve gone a week without encountering anyone and then only to go to the grocery store.

..and no people, chatting on message boards, Facebook, or commenting on news articles does not count as ‘speaking to another human’. If you think it did, you need to unplug your computer for a week or more.

I think that 3% is not so significant. Just a thought.

48 hours without speaking to another human

Maybe I am missing the point but IMO we communicate more now than we would have in the past... all due to the electronic gadgets, the Internet, etc.

That includes family, friends and complete strangers.

In my situation, it hasn’t replaced it, it has enhanced it.

Before the age of modern communitcation, people could go days, weeks, months without speaking to another person.

See my tagline. ;-P

This would explain a lot of angry FR site participants.........maybe they just need a kitten or puppy to relax them when they run out of beer.

Reminds me of The Onion's glowing rectangles piece.
