As countries become more developed, do people become more isolated? (long explanation inside)?

As countries become more developed, do people become less social and more cold/reserved Let's go back like a few years ago, I have been kind of thinking that well, although technology is really changing our lives and making our lives easier, well also I think that maybe in 50 to 100 years, our world will be not much different from the Terminator, or Final Fantasy XIII (The beginning ruined me, and I couldn't play through the whole game). People just stand on a thing that takes you places, just so you don't have to walk, people give up their organs for 'better' mechanical ones, etc.. I don't want to get into a point in time where there is say a small shop where it's run by just robots or some machines rather than humans, and you just touch what you want to get and automatically get it. Here is from my personal experience from meeting some friends..... Japan While they are very nice and polite, it often feels like they have no soul or moral values. To them, lying or beating around the bush is better than being straightforward and honest to your face. It almost seems like being creative and independent is a really bad thing there. Most I've seen were very closed minded, and they even make even the most basic of conversations really awkward. I've met a few ok and good ones, but that's because they've lived outside of Japan for a while or are mixed with some other asian or something else. Argentina I've heard so many bad things about this place and especially from my Mexican and other Latin American friends. If you are new to the English language and don't know what the word Arrogant means, look no further and just head to Buenos Aires. The city and their residents pretty much personify the word. Somehow the locals, called porteños, never learned geography in high school, and think they’re part of Europe, not South America. Spain pretty much the same as Argentina, only a little worse. Chile When God made a deal with Chile and promised to give them the most advanced and resilient economy of Latin America, but asked for their soul in return, Chile didn’t blink and promptly agreed. If you’re airdropped into Santiago, the capital, you dare not to confuse it for any American city with its countless McDonald’s and Burger Kings, not to mention other quality American exports. Chile’s culinary gift to the world is the “completo”: a big, fat hotdog stuffed to the gills with other fattening crap. There’s more stuff, right? Nope. The “completo” pretty much highlights Chile’s culinary accomplishments. Chilean girls are the most generic creatures on the planet, even rivaling their American counterparts. When I lived in Brazil, my friends and I hanged around hostels in Rio, my Mexican friend who would pretty much chase any tail, would refuse to pursue Chilean women. “They have no soul,” he would shrug and move onto a more interesting target. I couldn’t come up with a better metaphor for the whole country if I tried. ...and don't even get me started with the northern European countries like U.K., Germany, Netherlands/Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, etc. My point is, that I don't want to see a world like this in the future. I would rather have okay infrastructure, and have human interaction, be around warm and friendly people, than have some of the most advanced technology, clean roads, sidewalks and be like I mentioned above.

Answer:
You think people in Japan have no morals? How come when a disaster happens, they actually work together and help one another? In America, when a disaster happens, you get raping, killing, stealing, etc. That's the problem with America, they are totally corrupt and act superior to everyone when all they do is point fingers and go on witch hunts accusing people of having no morals when they partake in mass delusions of superiority and false gods. I say this as an American.
