Yes, technology acts as an amplifier for human intentions (Kentaro Toyama's words, not mine).
Thus, fixing the underlying cause of the Seattle Freeze is the only thing that can fix the Seattle Freeze, not layering tech-based fixes on top.
As someone living in Seattle since 2011, I hypothesize that most people here are sufficiently affluent that they do not need to interact meaningfully (read "make friends") with people other than their family. IMHO, this is the root cause, and I don't think that technology can change this state of affairs.
