Fringe elements of society will always be with us. There are some people who will always see, act, and be different. Some will never be able to conform. Some of them will always be able to interact with society, deal with people even as they keep their distance. Others will not. Some never want to. The rise of interconnected technologies in the early twenty-first century gave these fringe elements greater access to society than ever before. That is one reason it all went so bad.
