I wonder if people will start to make co-working collectives? Imagine a number of people in an area such as a small town or an apartment building rent a work space where they work together remotely. They don't work for the same companies but they do the things like in Office Space.. birthday candy, water cooler, bowling league...

To the OP, I feel you! One thing I would say is that you can bet a lot of people are in your boat and people will invent new creative ways to connect.
