Modern Socialising

I think that it is odd that all the adverts one sees these days for mobile phones and web-based social networks etc..., which basically encourage people to socialise with electronic gadgets rather than real people face-to-face, all show photos of wonderfully diverse, beautiful and deliriously happy people socialising with each other face-to-face (see photo) - almost the exact opposite of what the product they are advertising encourages.
