People who are complaining about how we (don't) connect are completely missing the places and ways that people do connect in the modern world. I've spent the past year connecting in person with people almost constantly. Just not with my coworkers. I spend my days in coffee shops, socializing between periods of focused work, and my evenings going out and socializing at parties, beaches and spas. A life of socializing in the office and at the bar sounds like absolute hell to me.
If you're not sure how to connect with people while working remotely, search for coworking spaces, coliving, and workations, and find an in person meetup for one of your hobbies. I often go to running groups or meet people at the gym.
