City Centre/Young Condominiums | 17, 25 & 6 fl | U/C

Sometimes people actually talk to them and ask them about their day and have a conversation with them. The concierge gets to know those living in the building. It’s nice to have another human say hello and smile at you. I don’t think human evolution has anything to do with AR. Evolution takes millions of years. Technology is God like to our primate brains, hence the vast amounts of smart phone addictions because are brains are still wired the same as our past ancestrial selves. 

What you’ve described regarding AR, robots, holographics, etc., sounds so depressing… it’s honestly sad.

Human connection, but is this person actually providing a service besides human connection? Should their job just be to sit there to be someone to say hi to? I mean, we're a society where there isn't enough human connection, but maybe paying people just to do that is not ideal?

If they were running a small convenience store or something, that is a service that they could provide that would be useful. One could automate that but maybe one shouldn't.
