It would be nice if I could talk to my parents in person everyday, feeling their touches and temperature. But we live in different countries, so instead I talk to them over FaceTime everyday. TBH, even if they live next door, I may not always find time to visit them everyday. So having a way to use a device in my pocket to talk to them is nice. It's a compromise I accept.

On the other hand, if I live in 150 years ago where telephone had not been invented, I may never make such decision to live so far away from my parents at all.
