> This leaves an open question: how do you keep in touch with your friends online? That implies that one must keep in touch with friends online. The question I asked myself is "Do I need this to keep in touch with my friends?" The answer was obviously no. I wasn't using Facebook to "keep in touch" with friends as I was primarily passively consuming whatever was being put out. That's not keeping in touch in any meaningful way, and it's highly selective for specific friends. Email, telephone, and text messaging are far superior for keeping in touch as far as I'm concerned. My mother uses Facebook now, and from what I can tell she's primarily using it as Facebook intends. Endless scrolling through nonsense.
