Science Fiction

[jducoeur]

You know how sometimes, you look at some aspect of modern life and go, "This was science fiction when I was a kid"?

Well, right now -- with everybody living in their own little pods and all of my social events suddenly moving to cyberspace because of a world-side plague? Yeah.

Not all science fiction is happy-making.

(Although on the bright side, thank heavens for the modern Internet. Not many years ago, this would have been far more unpleasantly isolating.)

So what live/video apps are people happiest with? Run into any?
