VIDEO | Loneliness and the Social Networks

What is the connection between Social Networks and Loneliness or Being Lonely?

Quoting the words of Sherry Turkle from her TED talk – Connected, But Alone.

Also Based on Dr. Yair Amichai-Hamburgers hebrew article -The Invention of Loneliness.

Script, Design & Animation: Shimi Cohen

Final Project at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design.

The internet has confused the mass majority of people with its sudden shift from LOCAL to GLOBAL. We very suddenly went from having perhaps 7 close “REAL” friends, and now we have perhaps 2,000+ “friends” on Facebook.

This global phenomenon has created an “illusion” of being “connected”. Sure, we are “connected digitally” however few online connections are truly connected “emotionally”.

Personally, I promote and market most of my products and services to my LOCAL (Minneapolis, MN) area. I also promote and market the geographic areas that I am personally attracted to. (Mine are Tulum, Mexico, Bali, and Costa Rica)

This being said, if you are interested in these geographic areas, LET’s CONNECT!

Jennifer Schaefer – Smart Tips – How To Attract A Loving Relationship

This VIDEO will show you the basics of How To Attract A Loving Relationship into your life.

Are you sick of attracting the wrong relationship?

Jennifer has a “Smart Tip” just for you. How To Attract A Loving Relationship.

It’s time to change your beliefs that you are not worthy of a loving relationship. These beliefs can hide from even the seeker of all seekers. It’s usually a very quiet voice, one that we don’t pay attention to because we have become so accustomed to its dialogue that it feels natural and we accept it as truth.

When you’re listening to these thoughts, this quiet voice, you will attract exactly the relationship your voice is telling you that you deserve. What you want to do is to start creating new thought patterns that replace the old ones. And these won’t be quiet. These ones will be loud so the whole world can hear you.

When you have a thought that is congruent in your heart, you will start to fill your heart at with loving thoughts and feelings. And when you start to feel loved and loving you will attract a loving relationship with ease. It really truly starts with you.

A great way to jump-start the process is to write down a new belief 10 times a night, like…

I am loving and lovable.

I only attract loving relationships into my life.

When you write this you are setting the energy in motion and your thoughts. And you’re connecting your heart and filling your heart with loving emotions.

It’s your heart that is the real attractor because of the energy that flows through it that connects to another energy flow.

Julia Sweeney: It’s time for “The Talk” SEX EDUCATION TALK

In this video Julie Sweeney has the Sex Education Talk.

Sex Education does not need to be that… HARD.

Julia Sweeney creates comedic works that tackle deep issues: family and faith. Her latest book is “If It’s Not One Thing, It’s Your Mother,” on parenting and being parented. She performs often with Jill Sobule, telling stories alongside Jill’s songs, in their “Jill & Julia Show.

WEBSITE: http://juliasweeney.com/

Despite her best efforts, comedian Julia Sweeney is forced to tell a little white lie when her 8-year-old begins learning about frog reproduction — and starts to ask some very smart questions.

Sex education helps people gain the information, skills and motivation to make healthy decisions about sex and sexuality. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest provider of sex education, reaching 1.5 million people a year.

Sex education is high quality teaching and learning about a broad variety of topics related to sex and sexuality, exploring values and beliefs about those topics and gaining the skills that are needed to navigate relationships and manage one’s own sexual health. Sex education may take place in schools, in community settings, or online. Planned Parenthood believes that parents play a critical and central role in providing sex education.
