Physically distant. Remote. Virtual.
These words don’t have to be synonymous with disconnection.
They certainly aren’t the same as physically near, onsite, or in-person. And therein lies the opportunities.
These formats fail when we think of them as replicas or exact substitutions. A virtual hug or high-five will never replace the real thing.
But, by acknowledging and embracing the differences, we can open a doorway to experiment with, discover, and co-create new possibilities for interaction, collaboration, and unity that aren’t constrained by physical proximity.
Connection is what you make it.
