But the question is, do you really connect? Is it you who really interact with them or is it a construction of yourself according to what you want people to see?

In this highly demanding society, we humans learn to adapt and present a favorable persona though social network without realizing the fact that it only makes us lonelier.

This video will give you eye-pleasing graphic and thoughtful information of connection created by social networks through the Internet and technology. In four short minutes, The Innovation of Loneliness will make you evaluate yourself and your use of social networks.
