They decrease the stress hormone cortisol.
So there are a lot of physiological changes that happen because you interact physically.
with people.
And the last thing I would say is it's not just close relationships.
One of the things I think we undervalue is the casual interactions that boost our mood.
The talking to your car driver, the talking to the person serving you in a grocery store or waiting on your table and finding out something about them.
These casual interactions actually turn out to be very, very important and they actually boost our mood as well.
Well, there are some studies about people who do remote work versus people who work in the office and look at their mental health.
And not surprisingly, it's worse.
So there is some pretty good data that actually face-to-face interactions are really important.
And it's no surprise if you, again, look at people's brains when they're interacting with a person face-to-face versus interacting with that same person over the screen, it turns out that more of their brain is actually activated when they're interacting in person.
Speaker 5 It's 100 percent.
And I think the other thing is, you know, over
tens of thousands of years of evolution, humans have been trained on human to human interaction, right?
Screen interaction is really new.
I mean, we're talking about 20 years.

And that's a really important factor, which I think we dismiss.
Now, once you and I establish a relationship or we have close friends, then Zoom can augment our relationship.
