Listen "[Go Awf] Convenience Is Killing Your Friendships"

Episode Synopsis

In this insightful segment, we explore how society’s shift towards convenience has led to a decline in genuine friendships and community connections. Dating back to the 1950s, we discuss how the rise of television changed the way we interact and how the advent of smartphones in 2012 further fueled isolation. The pandemic may have exacerbated these trends, but they were already decades in the making. Find out how convenience culture—where everything is just a click away—has replaced the need for in-person connections. If you’re feeling disconnected, it’s time to question convenience and reclaim authentic community. GUEST RESOURCES: Dr. Marisa G.
