Connection in the face of unfathomable distance

Despite being ostensibly about advanced digital technology, Digimon stories are actually about caring for and growing closer to others. They assert that power comes not from the individual, but from the bonds that individuals form with one another, and they maintain that when passionate people unite in the name of a common goal, they can change the world. It’s easy to be pessimistic about the role that technology plays in our lives, but Digimon stories insist that the internet is primarily a method of connecting us, even when we are separated by unfathomable distance.
