“We’re living in bubbles, going online to stream entertainment, buy books, order dinner. It’s nice to sit opposite somebody in a restaurant. It’s nice to take your kid to a movie. It’s nice to go with a friend to a bookstore. These things are part of the joy of human community," says Sherry Turkle, PhD.

“Rotary clubs, churches, and civic organizations allow us to be part of something, but Americans don’t join as much as they used to.
