"Rather than bringing me closer to others, the time that I spend online isolates me from the most important people in my life, my family, my friends, my neighbourhood, my community"

About this Quote

This quote by Clifford Stoll speaks to the possible disadvantage of spending excessive time online. It recommends that rather of connecting us to others, the time we spend online can really lead to us feeling more isolated from the people who are most important to us. This could be our family, buddies, neighbours, and community. Stoll is cautioning us that if we spend excessive time online, we may be missing out on the significant relationships and experiences that come from being physically present with the people in our lives. He is suggesting that we need to bear in mind just how much time we spend online, and make sure that we are also putting in the time to connect with individuals who are necessary to us face to face.
