Social connection

I’m not quite sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but I think that the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The world definitely changed the way it communicates, especially between this young generation. I'm sure that we all send tiny snippets of conversation or emoticons to each other, because it's faster, easier and so simple.

Online conversations are very practical but lacks facial expressions, spontaneous reactions and gestures, which say a lot about the person. 

My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It also concerns me that we're all learning conversation through messages that can be edited and changed at the expense of learning the art of real and meaningful conversation in real time. 

I'm still not sure if I agree that people are more alone, but Technology makes us feel more alone because we are more dependent on social media connections than real life ones. TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook allow us to communicate with our friends and sometimes make new friends. However, this connection is making us more lonely. Ironically, we use the Internet and Social Media to diminish our loneliness. Social connection only requires a click, nothing more.
