As these trends sort of become more and more prevalent, I am so shocked at how David Foster Wallace had nailed this prediction in his book Infinite Jest.

Humans becoming more and more dependent on virtual face-to-face meetings and also relying on embellishment of their supposed appearance through the screen. It reminds me of how SciFi authors predicted technology, but with a complimentary commentary on human psychology.

Sorry if it isn't directly related to the post, but it is so striking to me.
