“"Life is a conversation and you need places to have it. The virtual provides us with more spaces for these conversations and these are enriching. But what makes the physical so precious is that it supports continuity in a different way; it doesn’t come and go, and it binds people to it" ― Sherry Turkle, Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age”
