I think it’s valid to question this notion that in the “before times” people had friends! knew their neighbours! were aware of the news! etc. People still do that. You could even argue it’s easier than ever. That can be good and bad, as an individual who would otherwise be lonely and without a community can find one. Those communities can have a hugely positive impact on people (saving them from suicide, for example) or a hugely negative one (pushing them towards extremism).
You can argue the bad outweighs the good, but it doesn’t make sense to pretend it’s all bad with some lazy “back in my day” half-truths about the world. If social media has no redeeming qualities at all, why in the world are you here?
