Remember that time when during a flight, rather than surfing phones and all such digital things, people sometimes chatted?

It seems like such a rare commodity lately.

I’m guilty of this too… working or back to binge listening/watching something, the occasional read. All these things, plugged in.

I’ve had conversations with aspiring marine biologists, OG Bell Labs scientists, once in a while other cyber or IT nerds, countless business owners and professionals, even some folks whose prevailing identity was their religious affiliation. All really interesting conversations. Maybe that sort of thing keeps one in touch with the world…

In some ways, I miss it.
