I have a few friends who are very privacy minded. They even refuse to use most of the big social media networks out of privacy concerns. But most people spend a larger and larger proportion of our social life online. So what ends upp happening is the privacy minded folks become more and more isolated from old friends. I would argue you have so much more to win, than you have to lose, from letting go of that fear to share your life online.

You do have a point; I do not think I can reasonably dispute that a lot of people will spend more time online. I am not sure if it is fear though. I personally feel I already spend way too much time online as it is. It was beyond awful as I was going through school, where I ended up doing work/school/fun by effectively just switching screen throughout the day. After years of that pattern I eventually severely cut back ( and even now I think I am overdoing it, but baby steps ). I am ok with losing some people and some of the artificial online relationship that brings ( I accept that some online relationship may actually be stronger than generic RL ones ).
