75: Social Connection Isn't What It Used to Be

Social connection has changed dramatically over the last few decades—and not necessarily for the better.

In this episode of Up Your Average, we rewind the clock and compare what social life looked like in the 1960s versus today. Back then, boredom pushed people outside. Kids rode bikes until dark. Neighbors talked on front porches. Community happened naturally.

Today, we have more technology, bigger homes, and endless entertainment, but many people feel less connected than ever.

So what changed?

We explore how social media, digital communication, and modern lifestyles have reshaped the way we interact with each other. While technology has made it easier to stay “in touch,” it may also be replacing the kind of real, face-to-face connection that strengthens families, friendships, and communities.

If you're raising a family or thinking about the kind of life you want to build, this conversation may challenge the way you think about connection, community, and time spent outdoors. Because sometimes the most valuable things in life aren't found online. They happen eyeball to eyeball.
