destined to become introverts??

As the usage of electronics communications (e-mail, chat rooms, instant messengers, text messaging, etc) skyrockets, you have to wonder what its going to do to our "in-person" social skills. Most forms of electronic communication gives people a sense of anonymity and security that allows even the most shy person to reach out to anyone in the world. But is it possible that electronic comms can develop shyness in people because they no longer get much chance to communicate through traditional means such as in meetings (one-on-one or group) or over the phone? I mean, there's no denying that its easier to talk to a total stranger (or someone you just met) through e-mail or IM. What's the extreme? Could we evolve into a society where in-person contact is avoided..and everyone is introverted by nature?
