I live a long distance from my parents and siblings - technology helps me retain some closeness with them that would not otherwise be possible.
I live close to my children. Technology could be a barrier to closeness with them.
Also esp when friends use snapchat/instagram/discord/signal/whatsapp/imessage/sms and that one weirdo that only has an email. I barely open my socials, but it doesn't mean I don't value those friendships.
