“Attempting to alleviate loneliness and unhappiness through technologically mediated interactions is simply a self-defeating approach. It’s an error akin to trying to quench thirst with brackish water. Just as consuming such water perpetuates the feeling of thirst, the more we depend on technology to address our spiritual and social needs, the more pronounced our sense of alienation and internal emptiness will become.” — Enric Mestre Arenas
