fair, but
I just don't expect this of people. And honestly, given your take on Renee Good, which I appreciated, I don't see how you'd expect it either. If I don't misunderstand you, you felt that her death was a tragedy inasmuch as it was a result of a breakdown of expectations of law and order. By yielding the streets to bad behavior, you encourage it, people respond to incentives, and in a world where such things were instead met by swift, effective, and preventative law enforcement, Good and many others likely would never have gotten themselves into such a deranged situation.
Likewise, people largely just follow what is easiest when it comes to fulfilling whatever needs they have for companionship or staving off boredom. Strong social bonds and the creation of a shared culture are side effects of meeting these needs in a context where, technologically, the only way to do so is by participating in collaborative activities face to face. I just don't foresee technology moving in a direction that is more likely to encourage this any time soon. A social technology, like shaming and shunning certain uses of technology, might do something; or consider things like China's government-mandated limit on screen time for children.
