Does technology such as social media cause loneliness?

If you've ever felt like you're spending too much time staring at screens and not enough interacting with people in real life, I can tell you that you're not alone. A recent study found that excessive social media use can lead to withdrawal from real-life relationships and as a result, loneliness. It turns out that people who spent more than two hours per day on social media were twice as likely to feel socially isolated than those who only spent 30 minutes per day on the apps.
