How is it possible to be lonely in the Age of Zoom?

[vng2015]

I am very lonely.  I do not know myself.

The fact that I have not learned videoconferencing software earlier is 100% my fault.

Because you need to have friends anyway, even when zooming. Imagine people having to see my face in HD for 2 hours.

I would never show my face on Zoom.

The fact that I was slow to learn computer communication systems is my fault 100%.

Currently i'm at home during a pandemic, alone, at 3.53am in the morning because i lost my job day one of lockdown, and have been waiting for my internet provider switch for 3 weeks.

However, when it does cone back on, i will be chatting to friends who i feel i have become disconnected with. Beyond them, I have other friends. All married with children and holding down jobs.

Some people just have ****** internet.

Even when we come to the end of our conferences, we express how much we all miss one another.

Zoom is great for keeping in touch with people, but it, i believe, no substitute for a Saturday night shindig frought with copious amounts of shenanagans and debauchery.

Ahhh Zoom. That's not even on my radar.

I really thought that audio Social Media would take off. Sadly, it did not happen.
