The net connects millions for people all across the world with each other. People can come together, shop, listen to music, and do just about everything they could in the real world, but a lot more of it.
So why do studies show that the more time one spends online, the more one feels isolation?

becuase humans are social creatures. a screen isnt a natural replacement for that. the internet is a great tool for information should not be a replacement for a life

its cuz you dont directly interact with people we dont see each others faces, we dont hear each others voices, we just sit here and type, download music, and whatnot. i guess it can even be considered a form of anti-socialism. oh well.

The problem is that we strive for interaction.. but we are so stuck on technology that we see it as rare to have a proper conversation with people...
I love interacting with people in real life more since actually seeing them, their face, their eyes, add's to the power of communication.

although you might be talking to 20 people, your brain still realises the reality that your sat in your room in your boxer shorts with the curtains closed and music on to keep you satisfied.
