> People socialize a lot less than they used to

You live in a small rural community. Industrial revolution happens, and slowly most people move to cities. If you stay in the little town, you feel lonely, "people don't visit anymore". If you move to the city and try to live by the old rules of rural community, you'll be upset: "people on the street don't say hello and good morning anymore, they don't socialize!". But they do - just by different rules, across different groups from before.

We are going through an industrial change on a level last seen 100 years ago at best (electricity, cars, factories). Life is changing accordingly.
