 Is The Internet Ruining Our Social Skills? (My story)

So I've recently been wondering about what the effects of all this technology are going to be on kids nowadays. When I was a kid, the internet was still pretty new and it was very slow. So as a kid I always socialized. It wasn't until I was about 15-16 that I started using the internet heavily and then never stopped. My social skills just from this are for the most part f*cked. Imagine how kids will be when they're getting this technology at 3 or 4 years old? Will they ever have time to learn to socialize? Kind of weird thinking about how they will turn out.
Now to my story, last year I became homeless. At first I thought it would suck not having stable housing, etc. I had the most fun of my life! I lost almost all access to the internet. (I couchsurfed for a few weeks until getting an apartment.) So what did I do? I socialized instead to pass the time and just had fun at my friend's houses for the few weeks.
I have internet again now and am back to my normal anti-socialness. 
Anyways, do you guys think the internet is ruining all of our social skills?

I think lazy people are ruining their own social skills and passing these misguided values to their worthless crotch-spawn.

All of the people I know seem pretty socially well adapted despite being a part of this information age. That being said I think some people take too many pointless pictures which sorts of takes away from the moment lol
As for myself I'm quite the weirdo but I think I'd be that way regardless of whether or not I spend a lot of time on the internet

you might wanna stay inside more but no, everybody uses the internet so I wouldn't say it ruins your skills. actually it makes it easier because it's like half of social skills is just...being there...

So do you have anything a bit more pragmatic to add, or just empty rhetoric?

All I know is when I go out to dinner with my friends (all of us 25-30 yrs old)there is always at least one person if not more forever on their phone on FB or texting or whatever. Now I love the internet, but it'd be nice if sometimes people could pry themselves away for their digital devices for 1 hour to have dinner and socialize.

The structure of social media gives unimportant nobodies a chance to get the acknowledgement and validation they lack in life.
It's a pretty simple thing, that unintelligent people are perpetually glued to Facebook-machines, seeking out likes and what-have-you.
Long story short, stupid people will fall prey to the insipid side of the information age.

The amount of change we have had in the past century is exponentially greater than the rest of mans time on earth, which is pretty miniscule compared to how long the earth itself has been here. So yeah, stuff has and is changing
