Facebook is the spawn of evil and I refuse to have it despite being begged endlessly by friends. Mostly for the reasons Jen highlighted, it has its uses but I much prefer picking up the phone and calling a friend or meeting them. It suits some people, just not me I’m afraid.

Yeah, I agree with you. Think I might set up Arse Book. :wink:

I think the same as panda and Pixel but maybe thats because i’m such an unsociable so-un-so :lol:

I’m a bit un – social as well but I value my privacy and I also find it unnecessary to tell ppl, or have ppl tell me, what trivial things they get up to during the day, or what they had for tea etc etc.

I hardly use facebook, or twitter, so don’t log in often enough to cause any ripples. But on the subject of things taking over our lives……… mobile phones.

I have resisted the urge to add emails, facebook, twitter to my phone, mostly because it seems to open you up to being hacked more than normally. But I still come up against similar stuff although I guess we’d have to call it social death by phone.

I have to admit that when I first got a mobile, i answered it if it rang, I texted people back immediately if they texted me. I fretted if i had sent a text and didn’t get one straight back… you get the picture. and now? I very often read a text and then get round to replying to it sometime later that day, or even the next, or erm sometimes I completely forget. I don’t expect to get a text straight back and am a bit gob smacked when I do. If someone doesn’t answer the phone when I ring them I assume they are asleep on the sofa, having sex, working or something equally all consuming. I don’t ever take offence and nobody I know does either. So.. maybe facebook users will eventually chill out just like mobile phone users have! It is just a question of time :)

I know the internet it is a god-send to many people, for many different reasons, and thank god for it, for me.
