I think "social" media helped to kill a lot of social interaction, by making it easy to go through the motions and keep up appearances more efficiently than actually living a rich social life. I read somewhere that given a choice between what we know is good and what's convenient, people will choose convenience almost every time, leading to a modern world that feels how a pre-packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwich tastes. It's obviously a subjective statement but I've found it explains a lot about everything.
