wistful

nostalgic
distant

people (or "people") vanished from social media, blogs, everywhere online

the immense numbers to emphasize a number of things -- distance, number of people, connections, operations, absurdity, anonymity, encryption, infinity, meaninglessness

make them increasingly long

and finish by just reading out the long numbers
