1000 "Likes" And All Alone

from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar

The United States Surgeon General reported earlier this year that loneness is at a all time high.  How can the be in a world that is so connected by technology. A world that is connected yet disconnected. Where communications on platforms such as Facebook are one way a post validated through "Likes'. Arguments with "friends" over sports, who's the GOAT, politics, you name it.  The other 90% of the communication process interaction is lost on the keyboard.  People are portfolio pictures and reality, fantasy blurred.  Now don't get me wrong social media can be a nice way to stay connected with family and friends, as long as you don't fall off the balancing beam. timothymahar.org
