As the world becomes more connected through technology, the documentary Connected, directed by Tiffany Shlain, explores the various ways in which we are all intertwined. The film combines personal anecdotes, historical context, and scientific research to demonstrate how our lives are impacted by this phenomenon. The film is anchored by the story of Shlain's father, Leonard, who was diagnosed with brain cancer while the director was in the midst of making the documentary. This personal story serves as a reminder of how technology can be used to connect people who are geographically distant, but also how it can be used to isolate us from our own emotions.

One of the film's main themes is how the Internet has changed human communication. Through interviews with psychologists and sociologists, Connected highlights both the positive and negative aspects of this. On one hand, the Internet has allowed us to break down boundaries and communicate with people all over the world. On the other hand, people have become increasingly isolated as they spend more time interacting with screens rather than face-to-face with other individuals.

Another major theme of Connected is how technology is changing the way we view ourselves and the world. By sharing information faster and more widely than ever before, the film argues that we are collectively becoming more connected to each other and the world around us. This has implications for fields as diverse as science, politics, and art.

Overall, Connected is a thought-provoking documentary that explores some of the most pressing issues of our time. Although it can be at times overwhelming to see how much of our lives are mediated by technology, the film's message is ultimately one of hope. By becoming more aware of how technology is changing us, the documentary argues, we can take steps towards creating a more connected, and more human, world.

Connected is a 2011 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.7 and a MetaScore of 37.
