About loneliness among seniors

[question everything]

7. Life style has changed

When I was growing up we, the kids, always shares a room with one another, or with an aunt or an uncle that lived with us for a while. The rooms were larger, to accommodate two beds and desks to work on our homework.

But things changed, Rooms got smaller so that each child would have his or her "privacy," to be behind closed door, working on a computer or watching TV or, now, playing video games. I am not a sociologist but I suspect that such did not help to create cohesiveness between family members. And, as I mentioned above, many of us moved away, often half a continent or more.

And people do not just move away. Again, as I've stated in my OP, one loses a job and one has to go where one can find a new job, especially if one works in a special field.
