If the great internet connects us all ... then why are so many of us becoming increasingly isolated?

Summary

Despite its ability to connect people across the globe, the great internet paradoxically leads to increasing social isolation for many individuals. In a realm where virtual interactions dominate, face-to-face connections often falter. People prioritize online connections over real-life relationships, which eventually results in feelings of loneliness and detachment. The immense volume of online interactions can also be overwhelming, leading to emotional and mental exhaustion. While the internet has undoubtedly brought people closer, it has also increasingly isolated them as genuine connection and human presence are replaced by screens and pixels.
