"I've observed more and more people are realizing that the superficial one-liner birthday wishes they get on Facebook mean nothing even if they're in larger numbers than before social media arrived. In my side of the world, I have been consistently trying to evolve casual friendships developed over Twitter/Facebook first into real-life meetings through events, and then evolving a select few of them to a deeper level where it involves family with spouses and children included. I have been successful in developing a few good friendships this way and I am grateful and happy about it. Overall, I think what you're describing is true. When the mediums of communication proliferate and become more easily accessible, the average depth of each communication will naturally fall as a result. I think a similar phenomenon must have occurred after the telephone became popular, and we're witnessing the same thing all over again." - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
