But guess what, chatting online and video calls augmented our communication, instead of replacing face to face.

The fact that even in this day and age, we still hold major online videogame tournaments in person shows you how important meatspace is. The International, the videogame tournament with the largest prize pool, was canceled last year when the entire game (Dota 2) was an online game. When it's held each year the tickets are always sold out and the arena is always full. You can watch everything online but it never stopped a fully packed arena.

So yeah, my point of face-to-face socialization will never be fully replaced actually gets even stronger support when you bring up videogames.
