"logging off" doesn't really work for people

I agree, but I also think that when people say touch grass or log off, they imply that people return to their (presumably somewhat social, at least partially connected) real lives. Most people are not completely isolated in the way that some terminally online posters are, so I think that is a fair assumption to make about what logging off/touching grass refers to. On the other hand, if someone is really isolated, they still need to log off to build that life.

Society is a fuck, but creating a marginal social life is still possible. Obviously difficult, but not impossible!

Agreed!

I think what I'm talking about here is distinct from what alienation means in the Marxist context!
