The Innovation of Loneliness

2.6 million only... how?

10 years later and it’s even more true now

<3

I was digging old files from my old external hard drives, and then I found this video. Weird, it's still relevant. I wonder, humans would get worse or not.

Nowadays, our internet persona means much more than what we really are. Weird.

This video was probably full of useful information.
Unfortunately, I am hearing impaired, and the cool special-effects sounds of zooming, bubbling and other transitions drowned out the narration entirely.
Handicapped accessibility is something to consider in your video design.

I'ma the only student watching this shit in mudole 🤣👇

Please, uploader, this should be subtitled in more than just one language. Let the community help translate the subtitles and spread this vital piece of information even now, more than 7 years later

anyone here because the teacher told you to do it

Awesome

Loved this - we are surrounded by people, and yet have very few real strong bonds. Its all so shallow.

Technology is one of the biggest threat to our society in 2019. So many distractions.

we're not lonely because of the internet, morons! we're lonely because the woman has a full time job.

This is so very true.

EYYY who here from Mr. Smith's?

This rings truer every year

Spelling error, animation is animaiton, you probably know this by now. Re-upload the video with the correction.

Please, allow me to add a spanish translation.

I shared this video on Facebook a few years ago because I liked the cool animations. However, coming back to it now, I notice that, contentwise, it is just a bunch of nonsense. I don't know anyone that actually substitutes their real life friends and social connections with social media. Just because Facebook "friends" are called "friends" doesn't mean we unlearn what friendship means. We literally can't, because it isn't learned. It is hardwired in our biology.

Hello, 1622Shimi. I have a Spanish subtitle file for this video. I would like to send it to you, so you can upload it here. Do you have an e-mail address?

Brilliant video

a video made by an extrovert

yeah. speak for yourself fella

I have deleted facebook account 2 times already. How about increasing male teenage masturbation rate in Japan?

This is a result of smart, hard and good work.
Thank you so much for this. I am using both this and the original Turkle video in my teaching.

Excellent production. Is there irony in sharing this?

Amazing work, i'd love to get to know more about the workflow, as in which programs did you use? what kind of techniques helped you the most animating it?
thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

Thanks

Welp, the state of Delaware is now using this video...

Sarp reyizden geldik :m

I have no social media actually... i dont need it. But i do game a lot.. multiplayers... and i enjoy almost all of the people i talk to.. im surrounded by people who can relate to me in at least one way if not in most... ive made many friends and a handful of amazing ones too...

Social media has started to make me feel genuinely depressed and more lonely...

This is brilliant. Very important in this day and age of the detached cell phone user with headphones pretending everyone around them are plastic show room dummies.

ADD @OFFTHEMCAMZTHETRUTH ON INSTAGRAM! THAT REAL! IF YOU LIKED THAT VIDEO YOU WILL LOVE THE PAGE!

I agree with this but in a different way, while social media has changed the way we interact it has mostly changed the way we think. Instead of deep meaningful conversations I mostly find myself talking to people around me who don't think deeply, but more superficial. I can't do small talk for shit, but when it comes to why the keyboard has the layout that it does, I have a flurry of questions and probable answers that engulf my thought. I was alone for 3-5 weeks, and I would have so many massive and deep thoughts that I realized how limited we are, a brain that can think outside the body, but can only communicate by physical actions.

Very well said
Last part gave me goosebumps

social media is garbage, its the perfect medium for narcisistic idiots that feels like erybody wants to know how much their shit weighted today, nobody truly "shares" things, they only "show" stuff , when is the last time you had a deep or half meaningful conversation with somebody on facebook? , fuck social media, the land of superficiality and empty narcisism.

Great video! Thanks for sharing :)

Yah that explains a lot

Forever Alone likes this

That was deep.

Well you are doing great, i appreciate you but can you go a little slower in your video. It will make the viewers understand easily what you are trying to deliver.Thanks

Love the swift and fluid animation

Japan has it the worst 100%

I agree with all of this except the last two sentences. And about the origins of the modern epidemic of loneliness

FAKE!

Perfect
