Right, because picking up the phone is just too hard to do because that means you have to have a conversation! :)

I don’t dispute that being online to keep in touch with friends/family is a bad thing but it’s just a convenient excuse. Facebook is vapid

Most of the people I know, self included, don't have the time to hang on the phone for hours. It provides an easy and convenient way to keep up with family and friends. The 21st Century really isn't that bad, there are these new things called MP3 players and they are much smaller than an 8-track tape!

uhhh, no, not everyone can just pick the phone. For that matter, some aren’t allowed enough time for downloading email pics: i.e., my nephew serving our country overseas.

Facebook has been a god-send for the family to stay in touch and share current family pictures regularly with him.
