Is spending time alone a problem if you keep entertained?

Question

I wonder sometime, if you dont hang out with any friends, and arent in a relationship, however you keep yourself entertained through TV, Movies, Video Games, The Internet, Reading, ect. Is that person still considered to be in an unhealthy environment, since although they are not spending time socially with others, they have many tools to view the outside world. This was just a question that popped in my mind since I wonder what severe lonelyness would do to a person in our day in age, were we have many ways to be anti-social, while still know whats happening in everyones day to day (email, the news, the internet, ect)

Answer 1

For me, being alone has never been a problem as long as I have plenty of things to keep me entertained.  I don't really get lonely, but I do get bored.  Sometimes, socializing is a way of entertaining myself.  But I usually prefer my entertainment to not be so depedent on other people.  

Everyone is not like me though.  Most people do feel incomplete if they don't have a lot of social contact.  For them, solitary activities aren't enough.  They need people.
