The lonely age

While technology has made physical distances irrelevant, social disconnection has become far more common. Extensive findings from a variety of disciplines draw the same conclusion: social connection is a significant predictor of longevity and better physical, mental health while social isolation and loneliness are significant predictors of premature death and poor health. We need to create more community spaces where people come and interact with each other in order to counter the growing loneliness epidemic.
