Kevin Roose, a tech reporter for The Times, shares what he’s realized after a week in self-isolation: The internet has become kinder. From virtual birthday parties and singalongs, to happy hours and yoga classes, people are pulling together on the internet, in real time, all over the world. We listen in on what that sounds like.
i love this, it nearly made me cry
Best podcast ever! Thanks.
Brilliant and very moving. I hope many people hear this episode in particular. It's the sound of people becoming united amidst a horrible worldwide crisis, in an interesting and unexpected way- through digital communication and social media, which seems like is a part of our society that has snowballed into many negative implications of its power, like isolation, misunderstanding, and inauthenticity. It's a silver-lining that I hope grows brighter through all this.
