There are moments, deeply rooted in the twists and turns of social interaction, when the air seems to grow heavier and words suffocate, when glances linger a fraction too long or dart away too quickly, when your heart clings to the edge of your ribcage and your breath moves out of sync like an untrained dancer. It’s the kind of situation where no logic can save you, where every step forward feels like walking deeper into a swamp, and yet here, there lurks an unexpected, almost poetic way out: the raising of a technical problem. It’s not because there’s a blinking screen, a vibrating phone, a mic glitching—it’s precisely because there’s nothing technological that makes this escape so sublime. Technology, invisible and omnipresent in our daily lives, offers us a language, an excuse, an intangible shield to hide behind in the labyrinth of uncomfortable human connections.
