is having a facebook an absolute MUST for a college social life?

<p>myth .</p>

<p>I know people who FEARRRR talking on the phone, but they’re fine and dandy on Facebook. It makes me sort of sad, that more and more we’re finding ways to connect with each other in ways that distance us just as much… What happened to running to your friend’s house, chit-chatting on the phone, snail-mail, going to your neighbor to borrow sugar instead of ordering it instantly from online grocery retailers?! </p>

<p>Nah. I like dah faceb00k.</p>

<p>I’m one of those who is far more comfortable writing/changing messages thorugh Facebook than calling on the phone. And I love online groceries. I don’t think this make us less sociable: I use Facebook (and e-mail, SMS, twitter…) a lot to schedule visits and other social activities. And I never had problems with my neighborhs too.</p>

<p>I guess it’s just making life easier and more funny: if I want to say Hi!, I can just poke my friend on fb even if he/she is on the other side of the country! More interesting, yet, I don’t have to schedule my life according to opening hours of stores, gas station or whatsoever, 'cause we can get most of what we need online or 24/7, therefore leaving us with more time to spend on meaninful conversations and social interaction. I guess it’s far more easier to buy everything on Wal-Mart on a Sunday night today than it was 40 years ago. It would be unberable: one forgot to buy smoothies/soda/juice on Friday, then have to rely on water only through the whooole weekend. Forget to buy stuff than cannot do laundry until Morning if one does laundry at home.</p>

<p>Knocking on the neighbor’s door and ask for sugar is more a nuisance than something positive. I wouldn’t mind to let some sugar (!) for a neighbor, but I wouldn’t like it also. Just small nuisance.</p>
