I'm not convinced that online activities are replacing genuine human interaction. Displacing TV time, sure. But if anything, my human interaction has been expanded due to online activities. A week ago I flew across the country to Los Angeles to see friends I developed online. Next month I'm doing the same again, but this time in Seattle. I met the members of the local Ruby Users Group through its online site. The human need for in-person interaction is deeply rooted and is not so easily cast aside.
