Let me preface this with I have quit using facebook, but this is a naive way of thinking. There's more to staying connected with family than calling them up, a completely synchronous action that interrupts the lives of both involved just to happen. But it's also not scalable to keep a large family or friend group up to date with whats going on in your world, or catch up with whats going on in theirs by calling every one of them up.
