I didn't have any vices before the Internet. There are a lot of cracks in the day, moments where you don't know what to do next, so you have a little hole where you look at your phone. You want something that will mean you're not alone in that moment.

I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions.
