C’mon, this guy is full of bullsh#t. I can do a scientific research stating exact the opposite. Nowadays we meet 5 times as many people as our parents did, thanks to the web.
The people that meet less people because of the web aren’t using it in a proper way :)

I love it when journalists bang together this kind of piece and deliberately do not contact anyone to refute or support the theories put forward.

And of course, we should blame it all on Facebook.

Some of the most sociable people I have met are those with whom I’ve built up friendships online, and ooh, aah, what was I saying?

Oh yes. I.. hang on, I’m feeling a bit of pain here across my chest… ooh – gosh it’s awfully cold all of a sudden…

People have become increasingly more disconnected from reality due to social networks. However, I think you’re right. The day will come when technology will be so fluid that people will be able to stay connected whether online or in real life.

I can speak to the general public at large but personally while I may spend some less amount of time with people, the time I do spend is much more valuable and stimulating, esp if it’s with people I know online. I have to wonder if this offsets the mentioned possible effects.

I’m sure of one thing though: The Gov’t will spend ridiculous amounts of money funding tons of grants to study these supposed effects :)

I’m hoping that in time, with mobile social networks and as we gradually get used to having social networking as a permanent fixture in our lives….that we’ll find that balance between being in front of our respective gadgets and in front of real people.
