I think social retards were socuial retards before th einternet, it just became a way for them to access the world that they wouldn't normally bother with at all.
I can see how a few people can & have become so obsessessed with the internet that they push everyone away. For me, it's been a blessing, I can send off an email to keep in touch with someone that I wouldn't bother to call (I hate using the phone) and talk to family & friends on MSN, which I wouldn't do over the phone that often because I can't afford to.
Another plus is being able to read the local paper online...I won't subscribe to it. but here it is for free. I know more about the goings on in my community than ever before.
I also have a feeling that a teensy bit of your girlfriend's hesitance is that she's unsure of what she is doing. She may not feel comfortable around computers, but can't or doesn't want to come out and say "I don't understand this!" so she takes a defensive stance.
