Let me correct it for you: The whole internet is CHANGING whole segments of human interaction and [...]
The one constant of life is change. Change doesn't care if it's good or bad, it just is. If you zoom out to a much large scale spices mutate and go extinct. It just how it is.
Lets take it back to people. When writing came out, people lamented that it was ruining oral traditions. When the printing press came out, people complained that it was running writing. When cheap paper backs came out, people complained that everybody could all of a sudden publish and this it would lower the quality of books. Then my teacher complained that handwriting was becoming lost worse because of using keyboards.
All of a sudden if connect everybody in the world to every other person in the world it will have an impact. It will change and alter human interaction.
Now you're free to lament & you are free to not participate, but it doesn't mean that other people don't derive immense value out of internet / instagram / online communications.
I don't even like instagram, but you know whatevs.
