Choosing to live life in solitude

[calgor]

@InbetweenDreams There's no doubt some of this is related to social media. I'm certainly guilty of it. So easy to jump on twitter and pass some time anonymously instead of going to the trouble of actually calling someone and talking to them. And as you surmised the article indicates this is more common among younger people.

I must say I'm skeptical that the coming generation will reverse this trend. With kids virtually being born with phones in their hands it's hard to envision that they'll throw them away and spend the time required to form personal relationships. And that's without taking into consideration how robots are expected to become part of our future. Who knows if they'll be what the kids of tomorrow reach out and touch in the coming years.
