Eventually we'll be back to being able to communicate the full breadth of human emotions! And then we'll need someone to invent another 'like' button, so we can sufficiently simplify our social workloads again... There seems to be a cyclicality to it. We know too many people (see Dunbar's number [0]), we're fed too much information, we're overwhelmed. So invent Twitter, to reduce the amount of information coming in, invent Facebook, make it easier to maintain social connections with ever-more people. And then realise there are limitations to this, so Twitter starts a blogging service, and Facebook adds 'reactions', and now we're back where we started, no?
