"The major problem" is thinking there's a major problem. Do you think before Twitter every conversation was a philosophical milestone, or that Facebook was the start of vapid observations? Just because this person was suckered into gaming at the expense of his life, as many are, doesn't mean that our culture is weaker or that the constituents of the present are mindless husks compared to those of the past. We aren't increasingly unable to communicate. Or if we are, give me a reason to believe it that's not "look how dumb Tweets are!" Increasingly means you have evidence that we communicated better in the past. I can't find a compelling reason to believe that we used to.
