DRobert Putnam and others have expressed concern about how social and technological developments in the last few decades have weakened people’s social ties with one another. Identify the consequences of this weakening.

There are several consequences, some of which are:

Explanation: I. A greater feeling of social isolation; although it is commonly said that the world is becoming a global village, advancement in technology has greatly limited interpersonal relationships and many people feel lonely and isolated.
