Increased social media usage is being linked to fewer interpersonal relations and increased loneliness across today's younger generation. On average, millennials spend 6 hours per week on social media. Connect-U is a new business which attempts to connect people via social media while also encouraging in-person interactions. Connect-U is hoping to decrease the effects of social media usage on loneliness by decreasing total time spent using social media per week.
