Connectivity with others

Debbie
1 day ago

I think that society has changed a very great deal from when I was young.

In some ways the internet has helped connectivity but I believe it has also hindered it.

In pre internet days people were thrown together (ie in person) probably much more than nowadays, leading to sometimes unexpected friendships/relationships.

How do people meet nowadays other than via dating apps?
For those of us who have lived through both eras, which do you prefer?

    Neither era has been brilliant for me. However I've interacted with more people online by an  much larger amount than interacting with others F2F. IRL = no friends.  Twitter = 871 followers FB= 357 'friends' . Without the internet I'd be watching a lot more crap TV or taking to my bed.
