Social media and relationships

As internet and the social media continue to be a dominant force in the way people communicate and socialized in recent generation, the question is, are real meaningful relationships being compromised or in jeopardy? Not quite long ago, people in society used to have face-to-face conversations and interact in real time and space. To be honest, it seemed like those times used to foster cordial relationships and encouraged meaningful interactions far more than we see today. For example, people who use to gather in public places like bus/train stations, airports,  license offices, classrooms, to mention a few had better communication skills, or interacted better for positive social bonding.
In contrast, people who are gathered in these place nowadays awaiting various services seem to be busy busily surfing the internet or interacting on social media, making these places seem like  dead zones with everybody at odd with each other. Real one to one conversations and public interactions seem to be fading, which to me might lead to lack of public trust among citizenry. In a second example, even the situation has infiltrate into family lives. Family times are not even interesting and real as they used to be. Formally, spouses, siblings, parents and children used to interact more verbally, than it is recently. More family lives have turned into video games playing, music streaming and listening, time on social media with friends/coworkers/classmates, and even time with people we don't really know, instead of having fun with family members.  I think this is disservice to family ties and might hamper strong family bonds in the near future and generations to come.
Although, technological advancement, including the internet and the social media serves well to supplement the way society interact, we should however not lose sight of the fact that traditional way of communicating and interacting has an enormous positive impact on how families and society as a whole can have meaningful relationships.
