Thank you for such a thoughtful piece, Michael. I don’t think people here talk enough about this.
Although I’m writing this on my phone, I share your same feelings.
The internet it’s a great place where information, inspiration and knowledge is shared at the speed if light and available for everyone. But yes, it can make us lonely and apathetic if misused.
Life can be less interesting than our instagram feed: I think people end up using the internet as an attemp to make up for what they feel is missing from their reality.
I guess we only change that by changing how we look at our reality, but that’s a whole new story probably;)
