Socializing: in person or behind a computer?


First off, the video above took me forever to find online, so I hope you really enjoy it. While watching MTV, about a week ago, I stumbled across this commercial and immediately thought of the novels we've been reading all summer, especially Amusing Ourselves to Death. In the video, the girl says she wishes that there were more teens interacting with each other, fighting for a cause, and getting out and enjoying the world. I think it's a nice representation of Postman's book.

My question to you is: do you think that sites like Facebook and Youtube have eliminated our need to socialize in person with other people, or do you think that they allow us to have more networking options to enhance our socializing?
