surface entertainment

I'm not watching reality TV here. You can read the great works of literary masters, view famous artwork, talk to incredible people (mentioned that one). Read every patent ever filed. Research whatever you want from the comfort of your own phone.

+1 for fschmidt's response

+1 for fschmidt in general, a person we both know (I assume) through modern technology.

Those I feel sorriest for are the children

I also feel sorry for the lost experiences they will never have too but they have so much more.

but you don't realize that those social interactions are the foundation of true meaning

I think mostly you're just being nostalgic. We tend to forget all the bad things and remember the past overly fondly.
