mm, Unless social interaction leads to a net negative outcome for the rest of the world: I'm thinking of Nationalism in Europe and Japan for example during the early 1910 and 1930s. I'd argue that the consensual agreement in the sub-humanization of Jews would qualify as worthless human interaction.
As for the instagramming, here's a counterpoint:

Sharing what makes you happy doesn't necessarily makes others happy.
And as convenient as social media was in speeding up the spread of news for the OBL raid and coordination for Arab Spring, it's also lead to witch hunts (Boston Bombings), and general spread of false information (politics anyone?).
You're right, some people suck and using social media, and others are very efficient at it. But I think for what purpose someone uses a tool is important.
