We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of the modern era where advancements in media and technology, intended to enhance communication, instead contribute to a sense of isolation. Despite having access to numerous platforms, channels, and gadgets, we are becoming more disconnected from one another. The focus on virtual interactions and screen time hinders genuine human connection and deepens our sense of isolation, distancing us from real-world interactions and the deep social bonds they create. It serves as a reminder that while media and technology can facilitate communication, they cannot replace the genuine interactions that human connections provide.
