Are Our Phones Making Us More or Less Connected?

I feel curious about starting more 'debates'!
We live in a time where we can reach anyone, anywhere, at any moment all through our phones. But I'm wondering - are our phones making us feel more connected or further apart?
What's your hot-take?
Lets debate below!

I get the positives in that technology has enabled us to reach wider people, meeting new people and staying in touch with those we know around the world - even down to this. if it wasn't for technology i wouldn't be connected to everyone here at the mix so thats a positive.
on the flipside i see how it can take away from the connectedness - knowing we can always be a message away from someone can take away from the face-to-face interactions we have with others. whether it be through using our phones when we are sat with friends and family, seeing people less often because we can just message instead. i think sometimes phones can definitely take away from enjoying the moments we have with the people we love.
so in short - i see the good and the bad
it'll be interesting to see everyone elses opinions on the matter
