Excellent piece describing the new shut in society. Everything delivered to your door. Seemingly time efficient, and allows for free time which is usually channeled into working more hours, and free time.
It becomes easy to isolate. Insulate. Human interaction in the post Prime Now era meant I could go days without the normal human interaction of daily life. The binge watch phenomenon also served to further isolate. It took a consiousness effort to line up a minimum of 3 actual social events a week. Knowing most anything was but an hour or two away. It is easy to fall into the trap.
