Why are people so antsy to see others in person?
I WFH, every year one of the goals that the rest of the team decides is that it’s “so great” to see each other in person. The past few years haven’t worked out but one did.

Recommendation for children's photos sharing
I had a child and both of our parents were in another country so wanted to keep them updated with photos and videos but refused to use social media.
