Human interaction is increasingly mediated by technology, and in constantly shifting ways.  What changes when humans relate in these ways?  Are connections deeper, shallower, better, worse, or just different?  What is gained and what is lost?  How are friendships, work relationships, family relationships, romantic relationships, differently affected?  Discussion topics include social media, texting, videochat, and generative AI.
