It is something on my mind too But to be honest my parents’ generation had the same issue. In the 80’s we had neighbors we knew. I was babysat by a neighbor In the 90’s, we moved, and didn’t know a single neighbor, and we lived there for years. I always wondered why, but I guess it’s because everyone was caught up with their job or school and whatnot Even in the 90’s my experience was that most people and families were pretty self sufficient. It obviously depends on the person and the area though A lot of it has to do with suburban architecture, or lack thereof We weren’t stuck on our phones though. It could be worse now though - I remember >10 years ago before or during the google glass thing, talking about how people would be literally in virtual worlds while riding the subway and so forth That hasn’t happened, despite the efforts of many companies
