I have been off social media for a couple of years now, and I forget that that is how people communicate with each other. I am astonished that my emails are ignored for days, whereas Marilyn informs me that the recipient has been posting extensively in the meantime. I feel so isolated - duh! It is as if I have stepped outside society in some fundamental way. Neighbors barely acknowledge each other on the street and then go home and tell intimate details of their lives to strangers.
