According to Samuel, communication via computer is harmful to lasting communal bonds. Why? Because communication via computer is usually private and anonymous, and replaces in-person interactions.

Tova makes a factual claim that communication via computer is more likely to replace asocial or antisocial behavior, rather than intimate forms of interaction.

We need a statement that Samuel and Tova disagree on. They disagree about whether communication via computer usually replaces more intimate forms of interaction. Samuel thinks that it does, specifically that it replaces in-person interactions. Tova thinks that it does not, and is more likely to replace asocial or antisocial interactions.

Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. Neither speaker classifies computer communication as a general trend of modern life.

Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. Tova never mentions the dissolution of social bonds. Even Samuel only thinks that some private behavior contributes to this dissolution. “All” private behavior is too strong.

Samuel agrees, but Tova does not express an opinion on this statement. Tova only disputes Samuel's premise about what computer interaction replaces, but never states an opinion about social bonds.

Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. We don’t know what either speaker would believe is a desirable outcome.

Samuel and Tova disagree on this statement. Samuel agrees, and thinks that this is the reason computer communication can be said to contribute to the dissolution of social bonds. Tova disagrees, and thinks that computer communication replaces asocial or antisocial behavior.
