Dear god, man. The woman was "the life of the party" and went to the gym every day, and she DIED a few days after this fall. And your argument is the problem is that she was lonely and a consumer tech device won't fill the hole in her life?

This is the coldest of cold takes.




?? I really don't understand what upset you so much about my comment.

A person falls, and nobody misses her or looks after her for three days. How is this not a problem of our current society?


There are many people who are very dear to me, that I talk to once or twice a week. My parents for example. I live alone, hundreds of miles away.

If I died today, the only place that could figure it in a day or so out would be my workplace. If I didn't work, then it could be a week before my parents or friends began to suspect something.

You're not wrong, but it's also not unusual. Most people I know do not talk to their mom more than once every 3 days.
