1. Is too static and assumes alternative outlets can’t or won’t present themselves.
2. Managers may need to adapt and give up being helicopter parents.
3. Same as 1
4. Again same as 1
Minus commutes, extra hours become available for other places like parks, actual friends rather than superficial friendliness of coworkers because life revolves around offices and we learn to fake interest.
Your concern seems to ignore that humans are not static agents.
They’ll route around black holes.
Conversation will not simply stop. It will move to a different platform or, should the network of platforms using HTTP look black holes, where useful into goes in but little useful info comes out, will pivot to a new protocol.
The really important infrastructure is the hardware and basic protocols.
There’s no reason see the network “inside Twitter” as important. Highly visible, but it’s just one groups choice of what to store in a database.
Alternatives can be copy-pasted together in hours by competent groups.
Tech is so up it’s own ass these days because it’s measuring inside a few Petri dishes and ignoring the Internet as a concept in and of itself.
The internet is not FAANG and Silicon Valley. It’s the hardware everywhere and fundamental protocols.
So, yes, the math is right. But the math applies at various scales. For as visible as Twitter and the rest are, they’re not in and of themselves a distributed global network of hardware and routing protocols. They’re black holes in a bigger universe.
