We're no stranger to Facebook. It governs pretty much a chunk of our lives. Living in this modern world is, sadly, highly dependent on social media. While there are still some untainted souls out there who stay clear of it, or use it minimally, the rest of us are hooked.
This visualization by graphic designer Shimi Cohen reminds us of how our social network of people can make you feel more lonely.
"The Invention of Being Lonely" was inspired by Cohen's personal place. "Like many others, I became addicted to socializing through my phone and social media. This started to bother me and intrigue me at the same time."
