Through the rise of technology we have gained a multitude of knowledge and connections, but we have lost generations worth of in-person conversations. There have been genuine concerns looking at this generation and towards future generations regarding the disconnect occurring between families.

However, through generation Z, it is evident that we are losing the ability to fully connect in in-person interactions as a society.
