We are living through a strange and silent pandemic, one that isn’t caused by a virus but by the glow of a flickering screen. It’s a pandemic of disconnection, one that keeps us indoors, glued to devices that promise connection but often deliver the opposite. We have friends we’ve never met in person, careers that exist entirely in the cloud, and emotional lives carried out through comment sections and DMs. Paradoxically, we’re more connected than ever before, yet we’ve never felt so isolated. We have endless access to information, yet we grapple with finding meaning in a world flooded with noise. We’ve become residents of a virtual landscape, slowly losing touch with the richness and immediacy of the real, physical world.
