I always think of this question is a bit of a scapegoat.

Technology doesn't dictate our happiness, we just imprint our own feelings of loneliness on to the technology to relieve ourselves of any responsibility.

When I find myself hesitant to reach out to my loved ones it's not because I have too many choices and how is a contact them it's because I am hesitant to take away time with myself.

We kill time with video games or social media but before that it was books and other dead tree media. It's not the technology it's ourselves.
