What a waste of time. If there's 1 thing I have learnt, it's that people PREFER to spend time with their phones.
People might SAY they are lonely, but their actions speak louder. They don't WANT social connection to the degree we think they do.

Modern electronics and entertainment are hyper-optimized to capture human attention and time. They're not preferable, they're addictive and captivating and humans simply aren't equipped to resist this day in day out. This doesn't mean it makes them happier, or that it's a rational choice they'd make with a clear mind.
Being addicted to your mobile phone is only a small fraction of what may be contributing/playing a role in loneliness.
