Background for site name

I've chosen the name "Cocoon Culture" for this site. Inspired by this feeling that although the world is fusing into one, and the opportunities for communication are immense,  we're isolating ourselves from each other. Encapsulating ourselves in   cocoons spun out of threads of copper wires and fiber optics. Self-contained in isolation. Alone. In our private space. Apart from those in our presence. Connected to others remotely. Longing. Through the winter. Longing for the summer. Longing to spread our beautiful wings, and fly into the new world......
