In times of social distancing, people still want to be able to connect. Bars are empty. Parks are relatively empty. Seems like the linear social networking sites have become a bit of a trite concept. The next phase of socializing on the web is likely to be in the form of mixed reality - combining some sort of augmented reality with virtual reality concepts. This concept of virtual connection will enable people to meet in all sorts of different ways and maintain a safe distance if they need. It will also help people that are medically ill in hospital or busy at work to be able to connect as well without physically leaving their place of location. It will also enable people to connect across the globe which means reduced need for frequent travelling. Communications is likely to take on new forms of medium as people live more complicated lives with socially unique circumstances. In fact, enabling people with children to socially connect consciously as well within safe environment controls. Such virtual environments may also extend into remote support work to customer service and sales/marketing interactions. Similarly, it can also be extended towards socially connecting collective religious prayer such as for churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples allowing people to not have to physically visit such places while still making their regular rituals of worship remotely. In many respects, non-muslims, may want to visit mecca, where mixed reality could allow them to have a near real-time experience. On other hand, people may want to visit jerusalem from the convenience of their home. On other hand, an individual might want to join a global network of virtually connected prayer gatherings, even a social party scene like a wedding, concert or a festival.
