There are so many lonely people in the world now. This can be blamed on the increased use of online communication. In fact, when we compared students taking online classes to those who on took campus classes it was obvious that online students are lonely. The funny thing was though is that it wasn't because their social networks were smaller. The average social network sizes between the groups were the exact same. Social network size did not correlate with loneliness either.  Taking online classes makes people feel lonely even though they have the same number of people in their lives. This must be because they are working on difficult tasks using online communication. In person communication makes people feel better about all the people in their lives.Suggestion: Use hedging as you summarize your results this week and next week in your Results and Discussion Sections.

Institutions that once fostered social connection, such as churches and community-based organizations like Rotary Clubs, are shrinking or disappearing. That civic disintegration, along with a COVID-driven remote work boom, is nudging more people into the lonely category.
