There is a epidemic of lonliness in the USA why is this?
With cell phones, the internet? I'm wondering, are those two things indeed the exact problem?

My mother, as intelligent as she’s always been, hasn’t had any interest in computers or the internet. It’s not necessarily an age thing, Pop is older and used to build them. I gave him an IPad for his 83rd birthday, then updated it last year, and he’s never without it. The lockdown was very difficult for Mom and as an extrovert she missed being with her friends. Zoom didn’t cut it for her. She reluctantly FaceTimed with me and my middle sister—my niece showed her how to accept a three-way chat.
But I do think that conditions last year exacerbated her illness. 😞

@bijouxbroussard Grateful to hear your parents are alive and doing reasonably well. Your mom is honestly more techie than I could hope to be. Sorry she hasn't been doing so well as of late. They sure did a wonderful job of raising a daughter. So great hearing from you. My best friend here had multiple strokes and I fear may not be moving back. Her younger sister told me to take her house key and take whatever I want, I really don't need anything but took most of her artwork since I actually have two square inches of bare wall in one room. Then, went and bought another piece today I couldn't resist. A pencil sketch of a lion cub amused by a butterfly. Love you honey! 🥰
