The negative effect of our online social world is a drastic reduction in the connections that can only be felt, never wholly measured. This leaves us with a reliance on rational thoughts.
When our rational thoughts become detached from what we can only feel and never wholly measure, we begin to believe that everything can be quantified.
We rationalise that connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured do not exist. We start categorizing everything and everyone around us. Rationally, connection can only come from meeting the criteria of a specific category, providing us with a sense of safety as we find our rational role within a larger system. Rationally we expect to be rejection if we fail to continue to meet the expectations of our current category. In this mindset, we view our bodies and minds as machines that can be automated for convenience. If we don't want this, we can train the relational skills for connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured.

In 1994, I was among the pioneers investigating which elements of face-to-face interaction could become online interactions. We concluded that only interactions that can be measured could become useful online exchanges.
I then moved on to learning how to help young people who can’t experience the feeling of connection that can only be felt and never wholly measured.
Today, I see our online social world has drastically reduced the number of times we experience connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured. We are left with isolated rational thoughts. Rationally thinking; everything can be measured therefore there can’t be any connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured. We live as rational machines, knowing we are missing something, but don't know what. This is easily solved by training the relational skills for connections that can only be felt and never wholly measured.
