This Designer Created A Brilliant Video That Explains How Social Media Makes Us Lonely

You’ve probably come across research findings explaining how social networks make us lonely, but none of them would be as beautifully crafted as this animated clip by motion designer Shimi Cohen in Tel Aviv.

Shimi draws inspiration from Sherry Turkle’s book Alone Together, in which the author discusses how new technologies are affecting the younger generation. The excellent use of motion graphics combined with relevant psychological insights make this video a must-watch.
