Restoring Human Connection In An Overly Digitalized World
Restoring Human Connection In An Overly Digitalized World

We live in a time of constant connection—yet many people have never felt more disconnected. As digital tools reshape how we work, communicate, and lead, a quiet crisis is emerging: the erosion of genuine human connection. From remote workplaces to AI-driven interactions, the speed and scale of digitization often leave little room for empathy, nuance, or shared presence.

The image on her phone caught my eye and I instantly became curious. Don't judge me for being nosey, I am an information connoisseur! Naturally, I pulled out the Google machine and what I found has become my new favorite news service.
