I think you could argue that people are going to be less "well rounded". In the past, you were pretty much stuck with the people in your school / town. It was probably pretty common to feel like the only person that cared about incredibly specific nerdy hobby X. But also, maybe you made friends with someone that cared about completely different things. Now a days, it's really easy to find other people that also care about incredibly specific nerdy hobby X and make friends with them. Whether that's good or bad (possibly missing out on other experiences) is yet to be seen.
