“My internet was down for 5 minutes, so I spoke to my family. They seem like nice people”

Does the internet make people antisocial? A joke has been printed on many ecards:
 
“My internet was down for 5 minutes so I went downstairs and spoke to my family… They seem like nice people.”
 
“My internet went down so had to spend time with my family. They seem like nice people” was posted on Twitter on May 3, 2013.
