A colleague turned her camera on in a meeting this afternoon. Behind her I saw an orange umbrella, a patio, and brick buildings beyond the open gate of her wooden fence. It was all so familiar, and when I asked, it turned out she lived not 1/2 a mile from here. Another colleague on the call lives just a little past that, and another about a mile in the other direction. Just then, yet another colleague who lives only about a block or two from me joined the call. All told, five out of the six of us in the meeting were within a circle with a radius of just a mile or so.
But it didn't really matter. We were still all stuck in our houses staring at the glow of a computer screen.
