We have tried it on occasion. Some of us are introverted, some are more extroverted. We as a society have become more and more isolated from one another. People walk around with these electronic crutches, and think they are really being social by typing on a screen (myself included). What happens though if you use a crutch too long, your skills atrophy and you feel less and less comfortable around people.
Maybe it doesn't have to be absolute strangers, but if you notice someone regularly, or some acquaintance you are not familiar with feel free to ask a few questions, pay them a compliment, or just mention something you have in common. Doing so will help you learn social skills, or even develop friendships.
