      I read and agree with the other comment here, but it’s mainly a kind of nonverbal communication. I linked our computers and gave my gf the ability to change my background whenever she wanted, wherever she was, and vice versa. it’s just a way of being close and all up in each other’s business when we can’t get all up in each other’s business.

      It just lets one person know the other person is thinking about them, but without the arduous burden of sending a text. “I love you but typing. is. haaard. So I’ll just touch this lamp lol.”
