Is technology interfering with human interaction?

I read something the other day about using technology for communication and things of that nature. It was basically saying that there is so much technology in the world today that people don’t even have to bother with actual human contact. its like You feel like saying something and all you have to do is press a few buttons. You don’t have to see the person or hear the person but you’re having a full fledge convo with them.
I didn’t really think it was that bad until that same day i saw these two girls texting and one of them started laughing then she put her phone down and the other girl started laughing. this went on for a while until one of the girls got up and said “you’re crazy!” and then left. I thought that was way too much because they weren’t even in a place where they weren’t aloud to talk. They were outside!
