I'm not sure. Maybe I just have fond memories of college computer labs where people would gather and be social.
If it was a true computer lab in college, that would have involved a simulation of being social, rather than actual social interaction.

Things have changed, though, since the old days when I was in college and the only people in the computer labs were the actual certified geeks (and a few freshman who took COMPSCI 101 - Structured Basic as a means of getting out of Physics.) Yep, we had to chisel holes in punch cards that were made out of clay tablets ...
