What's happening to face-to-face communication

With new forms and ease of social media, it seems that old fashioned face-to-face contact is slowly diminishing.

Texting, twittering, blogs, emails, all these components are taking over traditional forms of communication, and to be honest, it is sad that we are allowing this to happen. What happened to picking up the phone just to say, "hi"? What happened to dropping by someones house just to say, "I was in the neighborhood"? It is all going away due to social media.

I am not personally a fan of social media because it is teaching our kids to be lazy and lose the face-to-face interaction. This could be potentially troublesome for the social interaction of our children.
