a new telepresent paradigm

this article describes a situation where 2 teens are connected to each other for extended periods of time via cell phones and wireless headsets... they aren't necessarily talking to each other for the 10 hours a day they're connected, they just go about their business and if one wants to say something to the other they can just blurt it out and get a response like the other person was in the room with them...

i think that's kind of cool, and if you add some multi-party calling into the mix you've got yourself the next generation of social networking - or the borg hive mind...
