You definitely cannot get as intimate on the Internet as you can with real physical presence, but I don't think that means there's no emotional connection with the Internet either. In fact there are loads of online communities that allow people to discuss and empathise with others. The tricky part is fostering that conducive environment while fending off saboteurs of this safe space.

Funnily enough I think the rise of Internet accessibility has made me interact more with my parents, because they end up a little more aware of rising trends and hot topics online, giving us more material to chat about.
