Everything we do is monitored , at home by your phone/laptop, outside there's cameras everywhere.
Yet we are more separated then ever from other people, there's no community at all .
I feel awkward speaking to neighbours, and admittedly mostly avoid people.
But it's also just easier to interact in text then on the phone or in person.
We are also bombarded daily by way more information (information overload) , with little in person contact to process or discuss these things. We have become a very socially isolated (with now the trend name 'social distancing' ) and are just expected to be self-reliant in that isolation. There's more social media peer pressure then before.
My generation (the MTV generation ) had only the tv to interact with , while kids today deal with instant peer pressure and feedback through social media, also while at home in bed or whatever, it's always on and always there.
It's unnatural.
