This is a classic "get off my lawn"/"everything was better before" argument. There will always be time for real human interaction. To the extent that technology has changed the way we interact with other people, it has always been possible to go backwards and live the way you want. As an example, I prefer to live with housemates instead of living on my own, even though the latter is what society "expects" me to do in a time where most of us can afford to live in our own apartments. There has always been criticism of new communications systems and claims that they will destroy normal human relationships. Things may change slightly, but in a free and democratic society you always have the option of going your own way. And unless your views are completely esoteric, there will be others who do the same. If your "friends" are happy with catching up by reading your Facebook profile, would you really get anything out of talking to them in the first place?
