Does technology create loneliness? It’s a double-edged sword. Excessive social media and screen time often replace meaningful in-person connections, fueling isolation and lower self-esteem—studies link heavy use (over 2 hours daily) to doubled feelings of loneliness. brainmindsociety.org Yet, tech can also connect: video calls, messaging, and online communities reduce loneliness for many, especially older adults.The key?
