Flipbook-The Goldilocks Effect
3 likes1,163 views
The document discusses how technology and social media allow people to feel constantly connected through mass communication, but this connection often isolates people and prevents meaningful human interaction. While social media gives the illusion of companionship, it lacks the demands and emotional elements of real relationships. As technology becomes the primary mode of communication, people interact less face-to-face and miss opportunities to understand each other on deeper levels. This trend risks making people unable to truly connect, trust one another, and engage in self-reflection.
