If I disappear for 3 months from home to go to college, my mother can catch me up in significant events in the church, my extended family, and the events of interest in the town in less then an hour. Meanwhile, she has little clue what goes on online in my life, because that much interesting stuff happens online in a day, and I can't explain it all to her in a reasonable amount of time. Even my fiance thinks I'm a little bit nuts running a daily website. (To the best of my knowlege, none of those people are reading this on a daily basis.)
