I don't agree. I'm going back to school. You have a lab partner and need to communicate? He's probably on Facebook. You want to invite those other guys to the party but no one has their number? Easy to find on Facebook. I have many contacts on Facebook that I don't have anywhere else because there isn't a need to have them anywhere else. Facebook basically makes it easier for me to maintain social contact with more people than I would otherwise. Sending someone a message on Facebook is "softer" than sending someone a text or email or making a phone call. It's also much easier for me to keep in touch with relatives in remote places. I get a little of their life every day, but don't have to spend hours on the phone with everyone to do it. Can I get rid of Facebook? Of course. Facebook didn't even exist for the first three decades of my life. I think people who have a Facebook "problem" really have mild "internet addiction" and Facebook just happens to be their poison. FWIW, the best part about Facebook is grandma doesn't send me 43 emails a day containing jokes about the weather anymore. :)
