Living where there is no people would be fine with me. But that’s really the problem. Nobody knows anyone. We’re all strangers. The internet did it.

no, it happened before the Internet. It happened a long time ago. It is the result of people being self-centered and caring only about “me” and being, in general, a low information population. I know there are neighborhoods and communities that are exceptions, but IMO it was not the Internet. I actually think the Internet has allowed like-minded people to become less of strangers to each other, like right here on FR.

‘We’re all strangers. The internet did it.’

Technology is now making communication between people easier, including local people and even EBAY small businesses which can be more like the old days of personal service.

Funny how technology = solutions, but government and godless social engineering manage to pass the blame off on it anyway.
