I don't know if it's bad for the economy. It's certainly made my world smaller in a way probably not experienced by my parents for example.
On a weekly basis, ranked by frequency I see - my wife, my dog, my mailman, and the attendant at the gas station. Past that I can't quote a regular person I interact with on weekly basis.

Frankly I consider interacting with you interacting with a person because you are. But I also grew up with BBS’s and Irc friends the world over and some of the most enduring friendships are irc friends that we’ve moved into a private signal group together. We’ve been close friends for 32 years. I can’t point to a high school or other “regular person” friend that I’m that close to. I don’t feel like I’m socially impoverished. But if god wanted me to have “regular person” friends he wouldn’t have made me a programmer.
