Aristotle the legendary Greek philosopher said, “Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual.”
Does being "social" only means hanging out with friends and family members by being physically present?
Why do people engage in social gatherings?
It's all about a state of emotion or a feeling that we get when we are present in a social gathering and it is only about emotions, can't we enjoy the same feeling by being online?
As more and more sophisticated technologies will arrive in the near future, a near 100% virtual life is not far away. If we want to understand this clearly we must accept that most of the activities we are engaged in are related to luxury and not survival.
It is true that some basic survival activities cannot be replaced virtually but for the rest, we will have a virtual alternative.
The next generation kids are no longer attracted ot the luxury activities of the previous generation, they have their own luxury activities online. Online space is becoming more creative to engage the next generation.
Thanks
