The new measure of “social networking” is how many coffee groups you belong to.
November 22, 2025/
Coffee groups with people of different ages are trumping social networking. People are gathering to actually talk with each other with phones coming out only when someone can’t remember what that movie was or what’s the capital of….. They’re even meeting at McDonald’s. Try to meet someone new today. Try it! You’ll like it.
Other communities (why isn’t yours?) are placing benches that say “Sit here if you’d like to have a conversation.” to encourage more civil discussions and combat loneliness. Try and meet a new person this week. Your life could be better for it.
