I personally believe that technology has reduced our social capital—the

relationships that bind people together and create a sense of community.

Consequences include decreased civility, loss of behavioural boundaries

and increased crime. We must find ways to deal with our profound loss of

social connectedness.
Even though technological advances have contributed significantly to the

problem of isolation, the emphasis on individualism in today’s society has

compounded it.
