Technology "Breeding Or Killing Empathy"

I believe that technology is killing empathy, but in regards to social media, it does help people to understand what the people of other countries, etc. Are going through. Whether they have true empathy towards these people or not is a tough question to solve for me personally, it's well-documented that people may not care about a certain issue or topic but would rather feel like they are a "part of something" or helping others can stroke their own ego, and make them feel good about themselves. However, I do believe there are still people who care about the injustices in the world, but there are definitely people who just want to feel included. At many protests, in the United States especially, if you ask the protesters what they are protesting, they usually don't even know why they're protesting in the first place. If a person were to gauge the overall knowledge of the issue these protesters have on what they are protesting, I personally have come to believe that it'd be very minimal, and not enough for one to have an educated opinion on. Surely, there are people out there who do care about these issues, but I feel as though compared to other generations, the same amount of real empathy felt isn't present.
