Even though it is normal to occasionally feel lonely, and depressed during weekends when it seems like nobody has the time for us, during the last decade, this feeling has reached chronic levels. In Great Britain, over 60 percent of the population feels lonely on a constant basis! In the USA, it is a bit lower (45%) but still very high!
Tech companies often repeat the mantra "this is the most connected time in human history, our applications and platforms are connecting the world". One has to wonder if that is true, or those tech companies are actually partially responsible for the counter-effect. The last time I went to drink a cup of coffee in a nearby "bar", the bar was full of people, but nobody spoke with each other. Some people were taking photos of themselves and their drinks, others were talking on phones, and some were watching the television that is placed on the wall. I've never experienced such a creepy silence before. It felt as I am surrounded by a bunch of thirsty zombies!
The modern-day culture seeks "validations", and self-gratification. It made teenagers insecure. They have been programmed to ask for validations by posting their pictures, posts, and waiting for their friends to respond.
In my opinion, technology hasn't connected us, rather, it isolated us. Having a group of friends chatting with each other seems to be a rarity these days.
Hint: time that we spend on this planet is precious, but is rarely valued. Accompanying other people, being present in the moment, instead of enslaved by radio-frequencies is, by all means, a healthier solution. Every second, we write history. Think wisely before making decisions!
