The adoption of technologies such as the radio, automobile, television and Internet, has increased the level to which activities are undertaken individually and alone. For example, more people are now commuting alone much farther than in previous decades. This commuting time has contributed to "the growing separation between work and home and shops." As a result, people may have a reduced understanding and appreciation of their neighborhoods. For example, three out of five people know only some or none of their neighbors. This limited investment in neighborhoods has led to a decline in the growth and development of local communities, which has potential impacts on many aspects of people's lives, including their comfort and well-being.

无线电、汽车、电视和互联网等技术的采用提高了个别和单独开展活动的水平。例如，与过去几十年相比，现在越来越多的人独自上下班的距离要远得多。这种通勤时间导致了“工作、家庭和商店之间的距离越来越远”。因此，人们可能会减少对社区的理解和欣赏。例如，五分之三的人只认识一些或根本不认识他们的邻居。这种对社区的有限投资导致了当地社区增长和发展的下降，这对人们生活的许多方面都有潜在的影响，包括他们的舒适和幸福。
