All I can think of over the next 50 years are the bad things...the impacts of climate change, which we are just now going to feel, food and water becoming the next crisis, a potential for a rise in infectious diseases, what feels like an impending financial crisis, the burden of student debt over an entire generation of Americans, a continued loss of privacy and housing opportunities. I have this massive fear that this generation will be "the stagnant generation"...

    The meeting at the baggage claim is one of business, not emotion: get the bags, jostle for room, get out.

It feels like you can extend this sentiment so far beyond that of the baggage claim. The interpersonal, the intimate, none of it really feels tangible anymore. When you're constantly connected and constantly stimulated how can you feel.
