I'd like a study that investigates how much tech has replaced face-to-face interaction. I guess such face-to-face interaction is how democracy worked in the past. Starting at the founding of the US, voting and discussion about votes was ace-to-face with a few books and newspapers. Now our face-to-face time to discuss our vote is only among family or close associates, where we can stay in a bubble.

I'd like a platform that focuses on face-to-face (video) interaction, including (somehow) with strangers.

You could start today by going on Omegle and carving out a niche as someone who wants thoughtful, reasoned, and substantive discussion.


I've never played with Omegle, but can you develop a reputation that will affect who gets matched with you, or is it just random? I guess I'm wondering if when you say "carving out a niche" you meant "creating a reputation" or something else.


omegle.com is shut down [1] while omegle.cc looks to be sex-focused. MB you're trolling me?
