I had the same situation with far away old people (grandmas in Venezuela, on in France, me living in Africa or Asia), some had problem with sight, earing, etc.

I had the same situation with far away old people (grandmas in Venezuela, on in France, me living in Africa or Asia), some had problem with sight, earing, etc. They didn't have internet. We managed to get in touch. > I'd ask that you not try to tell me what I really mean. Manner of speaking. The important is again that it is a matter of cost vs convenience. I understand the cost can get pretty high. Yet still, people kept in touch for decades with old distant relatives before the internet. Using facebook is convenience, that's the point. It is very convenient. It's the whole argument of this thread: the convenience eventually makes most people discard the cost of not using FB as too high, and the privacy things as not important enough compared to that.
