Tell me, do you see the situation getting any better?
Or, do we need to adapt to the new reality?

sadly, this is what we are going through. there are a lot of long distance relationships with people that are not upto to the standard of the people in our surrounding and yet because they project themselves a certain way on the media, we tend to assume they are the better option than the ones we see almost on a daily and can tell some personal things about them. the media is a deceptive platform where people decides an aspect of their lives they want to throw to the space, majority of which are all fake including the one we ourselves project for others to see. i mean, you only know what i want you to know about me and nothing more and who will project his bad side to the public?

its getting worse with a lot of edited images while the real person is struggling, borrowing of cars and airplanes for pictures that the person cant even afford and generally impersonating a lifestyle that is above the standard of the person in real life. we are just manipulating ourselves and denying ourselves of the real experience of life through the technology we have created and the more we create more technology, the more we deny ourselves of real intimacy and human to human experience.
some society definition of a modern society has added to a bridge in real relationship training children that goes to school, come back home to their lesson teachers and then watch the TV and repeat the process for years and then deny themselves real interaction with real human activity on the street.

a visit to some locals in places that are socially deprived of technology shows that they are more happy and have a better person to person relationships than what is obtainable in cities where you have the usual 24 hours divided into 40% for work, 30% on social media, 20% for sleep and the remaining 10% for redundant activity. the more technology gets advanced, the more we become isolated.
