Let me fix this: "Also the pacing of a conversation is totally
demolishedimproved by online interaction."
It often takes me upwards of thirty seconds to think of the perfect thing to say. IRL, these things are lost forever. Because there, wit is a five second game.

^^ 100 times yes!
Even though I'm a super nerd and the interwebz is my 'hood, I have always hated online communication. Seems ironic, right? You can meet all these people and see what they have to say and people window shop -- which is like crack candy for an ENFP -- but you can't really interact with them.
The wall of text to me was so foreign, and people often type very differently from how they speak. And text alone is so easily misinterpreted unless you really know the person and can imagine how they are saying something.
Sometimes text is nice as a supplement in communicating with people you know. The way letters used to be this beautiful way to get to know someone without all the hangups and interruptions of well...the other person?
Text is like throwing a message in a bottle, or sharing parts of you that otherwise brief interactions (or even long) can't really instigate or capture as well.
Having said all that, yes, I much prefer seeing people in person. Next is text. Then phone. Strange right? The disembodied real time voices is just too unsatisfying. I'd rather be talking to someone in person and experiencing them or else cut out all the distractions and just text them. Phone is kinda half way for me.
