What is the future of “third places”?


Third places would be any place other than work and home. Think like cafes, religious institutions, etc. It's a place where you don't have an identity/label tied to you. You just go there to socialize and be with people.

Is the future of third places online? If so, what are some companies making online third places?

Modern society demands that such places be inclusive to all, which makes them comfortable for none. Third places are simply a dead concept incompatible with contemporary values.
