On Connected, But Alone.

Getting used to being together alone. Even though we are with our friends and
families we tend to get so comfortable around them that even the silence between them and us
does not bother us anymore. We are always busy with our phones and other devices which is
something that is making us isolated from the society or the people around us.
We sacrifice conversation over for mere connection. We get used to making
ourselves isolated by using our devices and even though it makes us feel alone we kind of like it.
We start to expect more from technology but not from other people.

machines. Technology has become the architect of our intimacies we fall prey to the illusion that
technology is our companion, which is not true. With the social media the technology offers we
busy ourselves with the posts and memes we see online which makes us relate to it.

With our little machines, we feel that we're always heard. We fall prey to the illusion of
companionship by the technology. With all the actions on the social media like thousand of
