Question

Are People in this Society More Lonely than Ever Before?

Answer 1

I'm lonely.  All I have is this computer.  But it gives me more points than I could ever need for answering dumb questions like this one!

Answer 2

I think people in this society are more lonely in the sense of physically being with someone, but communication wise, everyone is closer.

Due to texting/e-mails/Instant Messengers/social networking sites, people can contact each other much easier than they ever could in the past, and that has reduced the time and need for us to see each other more often.  I think that's how we're lonely.

Haha do I make sense?

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

I would say so. Us humans are social beings, and we don't talk in person as much. We use "Myspace" and "texting" a lot now, which is ruining our social lives a bit. Real communication is using body language and your voice and all that.
