The social networks made it easy for anyone we’ve ever met, and plenty of people we never met, to friend and follow us. We could communicate with them all at once without communing with them individually at all. Or so we were told. The idea that we could have so much community with so little effort was an illusion. We are digitally connected to more people than ever and terribly lonely nevertheless. Closeness requires time, and time has not fallen in cost or risen in quantity.
GOOGLE：社交網路使我們見過的任何人以及許多我們從未見過的人都可以輕鬆地與我們交友並關注我們。 我們可以同時與他們所有人交流，而無需與他們單獨交流。 或者說我們是這麼被告知的。 我們可以透過如此少的努力擁有如此多的社區的想法是一種幻想。 我們透過數位方式與比以往任何時候都更多的人聯繫在一起，但仍然非常孤獨。 親近需要時間，而時間的成本並沒有下降，數量也沒有上升。

Gropius House, Lincoln
The Gropiuses wanted their home to reflect its surroundings

innovative materials, such as glass block, acoustical plaster, and
chromed banisters, along with the latest technology in fixtures.

The staircase was as wooden and solid as need be, and Affery went straight down it without any of those deviations peculiar to dreams. She did not skim over it, but walked down it, and guided herself by the banisters on account of her candle having died out. In one corner of the hall, behind the house-door, there was a little waiting-room, like a well-shaft, with a long narrow window in it as if it had been ripped up. In this room, which was never used, a light was burning.
