Together alone?
What? Touch Room is an app where you can sit on the couch, touch your screen while someone else is doing the same. So you will be together while you are actually alone. So if I do this with a friend I open this app I touch my screen. When I do that he sees a blue spot on his screen. If he touch that spot there will be a vibration on both phones and that is the sign that we ‘touch’ each other. So download this app, invite your friend an family and be together while being alone. In the video I posted on the right you can see what you can do with this app.
Why?
In the Netherlands half a million people feel alone. Old people above 75 feel the most lonely. This app to could maybe work if you feel homesick or lonely or when you are in a long-distance relationship. Or maybe to just have some fun with your friend when you feel a little lonely. The last few years people are more individualistic. And this causes for example more individualistic households. And I think that can also cause loneliness. It’s really cool that you can ‘touch’ someone while the person you ‘touch’ is on the other side of the world. This makes people less lonely. But besides that the app really does nothing else than a ‘finger-to-fingerkiss’. So maybe to you it doesn’t mean anything but for me it shows a little more intimacy than just that 5-second picture on snapchat. Because people say the contact they have is kind of superficially, like through Snapchat you just see a 5 second picture while this app also let you `feel` the other person. So maybe it’s an option to combine some of these aps so you see and feel the other person. This app will maybe also improve your health. Loneliness is almost just as deadly as smoking so you can better download this app, for free.
