Ivan Illich has argued that tools should foster conviviality. Tim Milosch, Matthew Weathers, and Matt Jenson discuss whether and how technologies like various social media help and hurt friendship. We speak of "connecting" with others on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat but do we really? And if we do, what kinds of community arise from that connecting?
