“if you’re someone who likes people but has trouble meeting them, or gets shy in unfamiliar social settings, you probably don’t think the Internet has made you less human. If you live in a big city but don’t like bar culture and managed to find someone to love — and who loves you — by e-mailing back-and-forth about your shared affection for the third season of “Happy Days” — which of course got you talking about Nick at Nite in general, and then your families, and then the difficulties of being so far away from them — you probably don’t feel like the Internet made you less human.”
