The Irony of Social Media

Is it just me, or does anyone else out there see the irony of this whole concept of social media. So it supposedly allows you to "socialize" with friends, family, distant relatives, classmates, ex-[girl|boy]friends, people who you hardly remember, and some who you wish you had never met. Do you really want them to know what you're up to, or do you really care what they are up to? With all this capability available at your fingertips and just a mouse click away, don't you find yourself socializing more with your computer than with real people? I just wonder.
