- Abstract
With the development of the times and industrial abilities, information technology provides more egotistical thinking space and enormous knowledge in every field. In this case, some people will probably further escape contradictions in society and become isolated. With communication being more effective, it does not necessarily mean the communication is becoming smoother and more efficient than in the era of information scarcity. With the continuous development and progress of social media, our communication and information acquisition mechanisms have changed significantly, yet the resulting “collective loneliness” phenomenon is also worth societal attention.
