Hasn't that been the case for thousands of years? It's not like they can't see each other after school hours... I know i used to. And i still see my friends after my workday. I have much deeper connections with the 20 people i see in real life than the 1000 people on my linkedin profile.
Do people thrive more in their mental health when they are supposedly 24/7 accessible? Is it necessary? Is it wanted?
