I wonder, if the value of the "useless" conversation comes from the fact that two people have just spent valuable time together for no other reason than to relate with one another. That person is important enough to fritter away time with, and vice-versa. An implied compliment of sorts. My wife and I have recently made some extra attempts in the last two weeks to sit down at home for no other reason than to talk about "useless" stuff sans all distractions and a glass of wine or other drink maybe. I'll report it's been fun and worthwhile. Possibly having the same value to me as scores of efficient texts she could have sent me.
