Spark had  other  uses,   Add ozone to the air, reduce the insect bug 
population, warm up the shack in cold WX,   Arc kept you awake, could light 
your cigar when needed.

So outside of minimizing your personal connection  with others , what else does 
digital do ?      ( ; >   )

We've heard this with every new technology, going back to the advent of CW
