I agree, and would like to add I find it odd to differentiate between a digital world, and a somehow more real world, as if the digital world isn't real. The people we interact with are real, the words that form in my head as I type them are real, and the social interactions are very much real.
Unfortunately I can't remember where I heard it first, but someone said that people on their phones all the time are not anti social, but hyper social.
