I don't have any friends who are into the tech space either. You're not alone in that. There is definitely something cool about being able to step out of it for a while. None of my friends read HN, reddit, or most of the news and blogs I read online, so in some ways real life and online life are completely separate. I see it similarly to you, sometimes a boon, sometimes a bane. That said, I've been trying to network a bit to get more face to face acquaintances in tech, and I'm thinking that will be really helpful in the future.
