From my prospective, I hold the attitude that we're more connected than before, but we're feeling more alone. As we all know, our little devices, those little devices in our pockets, are so psychologically powerful that they don't only change what we do, they change who we are. However, the truth is that we're letting them take us places that we don't want to go. There are some examples for this. People text or do email during corporate board meetings. They text and shop and go on Facebook during classes, during presentations, actually during all meetings. What's more,吗more and more people are not willing to talking face to face, they prefer to talk through the network. Nowadays, those phones in our pockets are changing our minds and hearts because they offer us three gratifying fantasies. First, we can put our attention wherever we want it to be. Second, we will always be heard, and three, that we will never have to be alone. And the third idea, we will never have to be alone, is central to changing our psyches. Because the moment that people are alone, even for a few seconds, they become anxious, they panic, they fidget, they reach for a device. Just think of people at a checkout line or at a red light. Being alone feels like a problem that needs to be solved. And so people try to solve it by connecting. But here, connection is more like a symptom than a cure. It expresses, but it doesn't solve, an underlying problem. But more than a symptom, constant connection is changing the way people think of themselves. It's shaping a new way of being. Therefore, it seems that we're more connected than before, actually we will feel more alone.
