The premise of “going to an event” changes into “being part of the social club”, as social utility and social capital build over time — This is huge. A shift toward ongoing community will benefit our public health as well. I just hope they aren't just internet communities!

I truly believe this technology will have a big impact on IRL life, and not just internet community.

With that said, between 2010 and today, average screen time on mobile devices rose from less than 20 minutes per day to almost 4 hours. Zero questions that internet communities will use this technology to continue to grow in popularity and in their ability to bring people together around shared interests and purpose.

No matter what, I truly hope this dawning social club era unlocks more authentic time with each other in direct social contact. Keep showing us the way, Jacques.
