I think technology and human interaction comes in waves.

When AIM (aol instant messenger) first came out, I was a young teenager. My parents wouldn't let me go out late at night without supervision so I didn't have a good way to talk to friends at night except for texting. AIM completely changed that. I would spend hours talking with my school friends about everything. It's pretty much the only reason I learned how to type quickly. Without that technology, I wouldn't have talked to my friends nearly as much.

Now with FB, Insta, Snap, & ..., the connections feel shallow and fake. I tend to avoid most of the modern day social media. New technologies like VR chat seem very promising and will probably enable new forms of communication that people appreciate until corporations finish monetizing them.
