Andy: The importance of human-to-human interaction
“The technology is there, you have video conferencing, you have real-time chat, you have your cellphone, I mean, there are so many ways to connect with people, but sometimes, that is definitely not enough. You need that human-to-human connection.”
Ken: Human connection is critical
“Now we’re talking about delivering product designing stuff, collaborative efforts, how do you not do that with all of these tools and engagement?
