It has its advantages but even tho we "talk" I don't really know you like I know someone irl, I don't know your mannerisms or what makes you laugh.
Considering the amount of bullfeathers I personally wrote on this site over last 10 years, I think you know more about real me than you credit yourself for. It's just one facet missing - physical interaction - like a handshake, mannerisms. What if we were two engineers, separated by an ocean irl, collaborating in one of those VR sims, tweaking inside the newest Toyota engine together? This could be as good as two irl engineers collaborating in a room. Probably even more entertaining than irl. The tech is somewhat lagging behind our desires for more fulfilling collaborations, but it'll get there. I don't see ourselves on terminal path of degradation, in short. Just short-term inconveniences of transitory nature.
