I view it differently. I live away from all my family and friends. When I visit them both in Canada and overseas, they can't help themselves but go on their phones to see whats new or to text other friends and family, or to show me the newest cat video on youtube.
So while you are alone, yes, you are more connected in this day and age more than ever. However, I think the connectedness is leading more and more people to seek out being alone. I.e.: they'd RATHER text/email/digitally communicate than actually talk and or meet up.
