Yes, but at the same time, it has also made it easier to (say) connect with other foodies in Grand Rapids, MI. Not everything is purely about snarking on clueless schmucks on the internets. While there's clearly a point at which the internet is a self-sustaining asocial distraction, it doesn't have to be that way. It can be used for local discussions to great effect. Of course, not everybody exposed to the internet uses it in a social manner. Perhaps it just amplifies existing inclinations?
