Video calls are like the fast food of social interaction. They are fine in small amounts but when you replace your whole connection to other people with calls and instant messaging, that’s where the deficiencies become noticeable.

I recently moved to the city where the company office is and I feel like a few days face to face with my team was a stronger connection than a year of MS Teams interaction. Suddenly my coworkers became real people rather than just emotionless icons on a screen.
