Left the building

Monday, May 31st, 2010

I feel like the internet (or some might more accurately comment, “the web”) has lost its appeal and attraction.  I would much rather experience something physically, read something in my hands, see something with my eyes, or listen to something up close.  Social media has not met my desires to be close to my friends.  I feel as though I can walk away at any time and nothing would be changed.

Last week I met someone (Courtney) who I knew a lot about through someone else (Mike).  Mike was the medium.  And it still felt necessary for me to ask her the basic questions about who she was, the things she enjoyed, the experiences she’d gone through.  Our communication needed to be relatively unmediated (save for language) in order to bridge a mental connection.  After we met and talked throughout the weekend, things became a reality.  It was experiential.

What do you have to offer to me virtually?
