📱 Social Media’s Paradox: Connected, Yet Isolated?
DIOTALK EPISODE #219 🎙️

We live in a time where we’re more “connected” than ever before.
Phones in our hands 24/7.
Live chats.
Live feeds.
Live streaming.
Billions of people at our fingertips… yet so many of us feel *utterly alone*.

So why is it happening more and more? And what’s the real cost of this hyper-connected loneliness?
We break it down in this week’s episode.
