I can't see the reason why social media should be a special case.
Reaction time is much shorter. One doesn't have time to think. For me it seems to be quite important difference. One even can have a filling to know everything just because it is easy to find many things on the Internet. But this feeling is false. I would say it is more false than in case of books. Nevertheless, there was time when written was almost equal to true, the access time was much longer and affected number was much shorter.
The speaker is talking (imho) about the same effect of false feeling of comfort/knowledge/ability. And it relates not only to social media but smart staff in general. And it is bad because it prevents from having real knowledge/ability. It seems to be similar to be able to understand and speak a language (passive vs active knowledge).
