We Live in Public (and the end of empathy)
In which is discussed how the lack of expressions, tone of voice and face-to-face communication on the Internet leads to objectification of the people you interact with, with the loss of empathy as an ultimate result.
This text pins down and puts into words so many of the things that confuse, frustrate and scare me about the Internet of today. I only wish I'd found it sooner.
Read it. Really.

I've mentioned lately how much I love all you guys, right?

You're awesome.
Thank you.
