I have long observed that technology tends to optimize one aspect of the world while ignoring others. I stopped using an ebook reader except when traveling, because paper books are an invitation to connect with others. Today on the subway, I met someone new and had a great conversation because we could see the titles of the books we were reading. Oh! Youve read that to...? Just now playing Ingress, I met a new friend as well as we were fighting over the same portal. Both low tech and high tech led to new in-person connection. It has been a good day so far.
