"Social networking sites like myspace and facebook are great for feeling that instinctive sense of “being sociable” but once the novelty wears off, you start to realise its no substitute for face to face contact. Technology may be very good at tricking the conscious mind, but it doesn’t trick the subconscious mind and instincts, which soon catch up."
I'm pretty sure this isn't actually true. From what I know, people had the same problem even before the internet. The issue isn't not seeing people face to face, but the content of the conversation. When conversations are shallow, people become miserable over time. People need to forge meaningful connections not mere chat buddies, to speak of things that truely matter to them, and feel that they are heard.
