Picture a next-great-leap technology with footings in this very real effort underway right now ... you can privately view and listen to anything in your eyes and ears, and let's include silent input with a last big of future technology.
Private conversations with people only you know. And everyone else in the room is having theirs at the same time.
I can be making a table in my woodshop. I can have three friends watching from a half world away, giving me feedback or even safety tips. They're my closest circle. They're my family. We're always there. Wake up, first thought is "who's awake? keep me company while I get coffee".
What happens to what we call families right now, when they are further away than the ones living in our thoughts?
Could this be a kintsugi moment for social networking? That the lonely amongst us can find a tribe of real humans, to quash the qualm, to salve the screaming silence? Or does it dig deeper the divide?
