This statement is false.
Increased feelings of isolation are the most notable negative consequences of modernization.
There have never been as many lonely people in the world as today. This is due to modernization and the appearance of social media.
Modernization made families split apart as many had to move away from their hometown in search of employment. The family unit had been broken and many relationships became long-distance ones. This contributed to people feeling lonely and abandoned.
Social media created a generation of stranger taking to each other in the virtual world. This is OK to develop a friendship or to learn new, interesting people but it does not make everyday's life less lonely, the opposite is actually the case: people spend time online and don't go out of their houses, they don't get to meet people in the real world and they still feel lonely.
