I find it rather disturbing how individualistic people have become. Humans were always a social species. It always traveled in tribes and everything was done in groups. Hell, the one advantage Humans have over other animals is that Humans can communicate and record data. We don't have to rediscover things every ten years. And I imagine in that time everyone was one big happy family.

Then the industrial revolution comes and messes everything up. No one was as stationary as they were before and people could simply move to another city and live there. Now, with all this individualistic nomadic lifestyle where people move within a city to where the houses are cheaper (or more expensive for that matter) people start to lose that whole "I was born here and I'll die here" type thought and people have grown almost identity-less.

And look at life now. With all this artificial intelligence industry and everything, people could quite contently and easily spend their entire lives in a basement. Think 100 years down the line. What would actually be the standard way of meeting people? Will anything ever be up to chance, of getting to know someone face to face? Or will we have evolved to a time when your perfect math was calculated and you know who they are before you ever see them in person?

I mean really, whoever started this whole telecommuting bullshit is a complete tool.
