By allowing unobserved individual fixed effects to be factored out from the life satisfaction equation, an increase in the level of social interaction with friends and relatives is estimated to be worth up to an extra £85,000 a year. In terms of statistical significance, this is strikingly large. The estimated figure is even larger than that of getting married (which is worth approximately £50,000). It can compensate for nearly two-third in the loss of the happiness from going through a separation (minus £139,000) or unemployment (minus £143,000). It is also roughly nine times larger than the average real household income per capita in the dataset, which is around £9,800 a year.
actually though virtual interaction isn't a substitute for real human contact!! dont be fooled! remember to go out and press the flesh even if you rahter sit at the computer all day.
posting seems to be better than nohting however:
Conversely, as the social neuroscientist John Cacioppo has argued, loneliness is such a disabling condition that it compels the belief that the pursuit of relationships is a rock-bottom fundamental to human well-being.

this is really cool how they use monetary values for their life satisfaction scale. also really cool: getting married is worth 50k and a separation is -139k. are you bold enough to play those odds??
