i think that people are beginning to find these more shallow ways of connecting less meaningful and while they will always serve a purpose, i think that technology such as virtual reality will enable people who are not in the same room together to connect with one another in more meaningful and real (feeling) ways.

+1 for the VR "feeling transmitting Tech" thing.

however it might be a bit scary to use it in the long term I expect a short hype like with Chatroulette or SecondLife because everybody wants to try it at least one time but itl only stick with a few of those Initial Users and serve a real purpose there...
