The internet can be incredibly divisive, with very little in between.
People go left or they go right, they go extreme or they go impartial, they connect on deep levels or they go deathly quiet.
This was the case with the death of an elderly man in Oslo, Norway (pictured above), who lay in his flat for around nine years before being found last December.
This ‘special case’ is making everyone think about the role technology plays in keeping people connected.
State broadcaster NRK reported that the man, who was in his 60s, did have people in his life, having been married a few times with kids, but no one reported him missing.
