The World via Pets

Hello and welcome to The World Via.

It’s a common observation that life in the information age has led to a greater ability to digitally connect with our fellow humans across time and space, but, has it also led to increased feelings of solitude and loneliness? Increased feelings of disconnection?

As neat as digital watches, Super Mario and infinite cat videos are, it appears that we need real physical presence to maintain our mental and emotional health. The moment we can’t be near family or friends, a friendly, furry, feathery, or scaly face, may give us that little dose of empathy and intimacy. Through play, care, exercise, comfort, and occasional bouts of wonder, we can form deep and enriching emotional bonds with beings that are sometimes simply stoked to be fed.

Which kind of begs the question once asked by a man named Perry, can we serve the same purpose?

We’ll find out today on The World via Pets.
