Which type of communication has Howard Rheingold called a 'bloodless technological ritual'?

Howard Rheingold called internet communication a bloodless technological ritual.

He used the phrase to capture how online exchange, though widely connected, can feel emotionally thin and disembodied.

Inter' actions on screen lack the warmth, touch and full presence of meeting in person.

Print communication predates such digital critique and is not the target of this remark.

Telephone communication carries the living voice and so does not fit the bloodless label he applied.

Broadcast communication reaches mass audiences yet was not the medium Rheingold branded with this phrase.
