Humans need filters.
When all the geeks and media junkies realize that no one really cares about their Twitters, they might have a hard time remembering what a real human interaction feels like. The perception that technologies (social media, mobile devices, email, web, etc.) bring people together is a farce. Ironically, this is not the fault of the technology itself but the fault of the users who ignore the need to filter what they spit out into the world.
In other words, please stop throwing up on me.
Consider a simple point. If you were to toss out your mobile phone, laptop, email accounts and web ids tomorrow, you would invariably spend much more time with the people you love. Why? Because when you switch off the deluge of crap in your life, you become acutely aware of the space and need for meaningful interactions.
