Thanks veen. Of course we still value talking face-to-face in physical reality. However, by the 2030s almost everything will be "online" (check out "The Internet of Things"). You will always be on the Internet, all the time. We all will be. Our watches, glasses, clothes, home appliances, cars, etc. Everything will be online. You will still interact face-to-face with people but almost all of your dialogue will be mediated in some way with the Internet. By the 2040s I should suspect the Internet to be deeply connected with you via "wetware". Actually, wetware will probably be 2030s as well. Also, don't forget the emergence of virtual reality (VR) and VR social media environments. VR environments will be able to mimic physical reality quite well by the 2040s.
