Technology is good, but the way we use it is entirely wrong. Instantaneous communication is invaluable for improving human life, but misuse of it with mass media and social media only leads to pain or trolling most of the time. But of course, even without a pandemic, our modern world has been built in such a way as to discourage real social interactions irl. If you don't organize something online, it doesn't really happen outside of school or work, which is also more increasingly online. Free public spaces are declining, it's more and more diffucult to find a good park or library to talk to real people in. Public spaces in general are becoming more road and parking lot and less human. This isn't the fault of technology, it's the culture that came about alongside technology.
