Why Social Media Makes You Lonely

About the Video

Everyone wants to know how to manage the digital economy. It’s here to stay, we say. The Internet has disrupted the way we work, learn and play. The Internet of Things is on the way.

Are we happier? Are we less lonely? Look at people next time you are on a train – staring at their phones, making sure people know that they actually have Facebook friends or messages to read. That person over there not staring at his phone – they must be really lonely. Poor them.

Are we more lonely now than ever before?

Think about it.
