Ask web developers about the tools they use, and it’s likely they’ll start talking about hardware, software and web applications. That’s understandable, but it’s not the whole picture.
I believe things like software pale in comparison with the most powerful tool available: coffee.
We talk about connection a lot. We talk about social objects, social networks... technology to connect people.
But for all that, a lot of the time we remain distracted by the tools we're using. The experience is often "using the service" rather than "connecting with friends".
Then there are some moments which show us what connection really means.
