I imagine that there is a doctoral thesis out there on how all of our technological advances in "connectedness" also create the possibility of greater isolation and loneliness. And on a completely unrelated point, I seem to recall from my Greek classes that the word "idiot" comes from the Greek, with an original meaning approximate to "a private person; one living "in his own little world"'
