A digital park bench

Like many others, I've been a long-time fan of The Sartorialist. I didn't know much about the man behind the camera, but this video from Intel changed that. I love this concept of the Internet as a digital park bench.
 
Because the Internet is the world shrinking. Are we all becoming too homogenized? Milan hasn't changed. Paris hasn't changed, New York hasn't changed. So I don't think it's really homogenized anything, but I do think it's given us what I like to call a digital park bench. So many people you meet say 'Oh I love to just go people watch, to just go sit in the park and watch people. And before, you were limited to the people you could see right there in front you, at your park. Now, you can go on the internet and really the whole world is open to you now.
