Would society be a better place if we all just unplugged?

Question

...from TV's, Computers and the like, returning to a seemingly more old fashioned existence?

Let me clarify. I am not suggesting society return to the dark ages, or live in the past, nor am I suggesting any form of sensorship.

However, the vast majority of people I have known, met, and current know and work with, to include myself at times, seem overly dependent on the Internet, TV and other visual media for virtually all needs, desires and whims.

So, in your opinion, would Society at large be a better place if we all just unplugged, limited ourselves to so much visual media and developed some self-reliance instead of letting other people have so much influence in our lives who don't even know us and who don't really care?

Would Society be a better place if we all had more balance, learned to have conversations with other people in real time, face to face?
