Technology proposes itself as the architect of our intimacies.
Everything that enchants may be said to deceive.
Does virtual intimacy degrade our experience of the other kind and, indeed, of all encounters, of any kind?
We don't need to reject or disparage technology. We need to put it in its place.
Because you can text while doing something else, texting does not seem to take time but to give you time. This is more than welcome; it is magical.
Loneliness is failed solitude.
