Most of my interactions with friends and family are via text messaging. I have close friends that I haven't seen in person for ages because they moved across the country/world and getting to visit all of them is expensive. I realize that not everyone socializes like I do, but for the contingent of people who do, I wouldn't be surprised if this is sufficient, especially as a replacement for those ancillary friends that you just chat about hobbies with.
