    Young people are reporting epidemic levels of loneliness, and some are turning to technology to fill the void.

    Bruh, technology is causing the void. People are increasingly using technology to replace human interaction, rather than to cultivate it.

      Social media was a mistake.

      And yes, I’m aware of the irony as I use social media to say so. I do not apologize.

        I’m not so sure. Facebook was a great tool to create local communities at first. Then it became greedy and changed the algorithm for ads and being attention driven. If you remove facebook (which I don’t use since months), it’s harder to find what’s new around you, and get out to cool events. Especially on the countryside.
