Right now, you might be saying…Uh, bwhaaa? That makes no sense. The whole point of using these wireless devices and speaking to people through video chats and the like is to maintain a safe distance while retaining contact so we don’t go mad from solitude. MMMAYbe that’s just the extroverts talking. The introverts are probably too distracted with their private activities to even notice this.
But, it’s true. If you use a laptop or tablet, like an iPad, and talk with anyone through the device, you are probably violating the social distancing requirement (of six feet). Think about it. Unless you have a wireless keyboard and can look at the screen from across the room, your face is less than two feet from the screen. Your hand is even closer, probably inches away from the other user’s hand…if you consider the screen like a mirror or window between two people. And, that’s just what I am implying. You may be cities or half a world apart when you think about where your bodies sit or stand. But, your faces and hands are much closer.
So, is there any chance we might contract the crisis with this violation of personal space? I wonder………….
😛
My advice to everyone: Get a wireless keyboard and sit at least three feet away from the screen. If everyone can respect this three-foot rule, we can stay closer together than we were at the impossible six feet and still not cough on each other. We’re in this together…… Well, I think we are. But, I don’t see the people on the other side of the screen, anymore. Are you still there? Hmm. I guess I’m on my own.
