To be honest, most of the human interaction I see being eliminated aren't what I'd call "quality time" to begin with. For the most part, the brick-and-mortar commercial world is full of rote interactions with people who are under the gun meet metrics for middle managers and capitalists, in hopes that some of the excess will trickle down. Slightly better are maybe the brokers, who are now obviated by search and decision engines.
And if we rewind a bit further to a time when human capital was literally disposable, well, maybe the trend isn't so bad.
There's much less haggling and forced pleasantry in the world of online commerce. It's up to us to replace that with more meaningful interactions. Make art, play sports, learn to dance, volunteer.
