Your confusing having social media/phone/pen pals as alternative vs. it being required to be social. I never implied that being social over social media is wrong. The GP, however, was implying that by not engaging in social media (or, using your examples, phone or pen pal) is antisocial, which I argue is wrong. If engaging in social media is the only way to be social — or, to put it another way, if by not using social media socially you’re considered anti-social — then Facebook et al. have won.
