Apparently not, because people keep feeling surprised and offended when the Networking Effect happens.
Idk, when are we going to get low-cost public transit and VoIP that's not like talking over two tin cans connected with string?
What is this networking effect you mentioned? I tried searching online but I think I'm missing the context needed to find the right info.

Thanks for the link. That's what I found, so I'm certain I'm missing something. Can you clue me in on why people are getting surprised and offended by it?
