My guess is there are many baseball card collectors who have had fewer than 10 face-to-face interactions w/ a fellow collector. I have had about four such interactions in my 15+ years of "serious/non childhood" collecting. The OPs question is not that far-fetched.

I see people walking down the street, or sitting at tables with their friends, who literally cannot take their eyes off their devices for more than a couple of seconds at a time. This cannot be a good thing for them or society. Even in professional meetings younger people especially have one eye (or even two) on their devices much of the time. And what compels people to put their daily lives online for all the world to see, I truly don't get that.
