Instead, we have Starbucks and sports bars where people can rub elbow or what have you. But, being Americans, we are not quite able to actually associate with each other so we bring laptops and ipods to distance ourselves from the group. But the electricity is free hence all the wires charging the batteries. Thanks for looking.
