A very interesting video by Maria Bezaitis on The surprising need for strangeness. The video tells how can data be used for people's relations with other people and make digital relations.

My key takeaways :

• What can we do together which benefits all of us?
  
• If you do not talk to strangers, you will land up being with people
  
• Intervention of technology to enable the kind of people one needs at a point of time.
  

Please pour in your thoughts on the same and see what "Other Strangers" have to say on this forum.

good one....

This is the positivity of social media and Technology.. They have changed the landscape of our networking skills.

It has given me a new dimension to ponder about - "Strangeness of the relation"...

the "weak links" are not exactly a weak link.. they are strong indeed...
