Rather than going out to meet people in person, it seems that there's a growing tendency to sofalize – socialize with friends and family via electronic devices in the home。
好像有越来越多的人选择待在家里通过电子设备跟家人和朋友联络感情，即进行“沙发社交”，而不愿走出家门跟他们面对面交流。
Those of us who prefer to talk to our friends without having to step through the front door, in fact have a variety of ways of sofalizing at our disposal, including texting, e-mail, instant messenger, Skype, Twitter, live chat, status updates or wall posts on Facebook, and the communication networks associated with online gaming。
那些选择宅在家里跟朋友联络的人其实有很多随手可用的联络方式，包括短信、电子邮件、即时讯息、Skype、Twitter、在线聊天、Facebook上的状态和记录更新，以及在线游戏网站附带的通讯工具等。
