Sherry Turkle wrote:

One is alone. One fills in the blanks for oneself. And yet one feels together, supported by others because of a sense of connection. As in a psychoanalytic session -- where analyst is there but does not see the patient -- one feels supported to say -- whatever. The medium supports a transference to the medium itself. More than mediation, it amplifies and validates.

Alone together.
