The end of people as we know them
Personal interaction is apparently potentially awkward, so let's get rid of that. Quoting from the NYT:
It's now easier than ever to get travel advice from locals, and you don't even have to talk to them in person. Sure, you can still ask a stranger where to find some good sushi, but there is no guarantee they will be interested in, or qualified to, help you. Thankfully, there are several smartphone apps that cut out those potentially awkward moments but still provide valuable recommendations from those in the know.
