And, not only social media but TOTV, I would think, adds a lot to experiencing The Villages vicariously. My sister has lived in another Florida city for far longer than us and she is always surprised at how much I know about TV. I attribute that to the wonderful, miscellaneous threads on TOTV. I find it not only informational but frequently entertaining. The sense of community may not be an antidote to isolationism, but I believe in some ways it helps to curb a little of the loneliness that some may feel.
