Comment on Do you think Technology makes us more lonely...?

Tech has no agency. As such technology makes us do nothing. We are the agents in the relationship.

If your tech is making you feel lonely, sit down and see what it is about the tech that does that. Then expunge the portions of the tech doing this to you. You are the one with agency, after all. You are the one picking up that phone, turning on that computer, firing up that video game, logging in to that social media site. If you feel compelled to do any of that, look closer at the source of that compulsion. You'll find to your shock that it's not the tech doing it. It's people.

The cut the people out that are making you feel lonely. Foster relationships instead with people who don't make you feel lonely.
