People need to get a perspective on things. Letter writing, personal visiting, telephone calls and Email came before facebook or any of those sites. It's nice to utilize for its photo sharing capabilities and that's about it for me. </p> I'm on facebook but it could go down forever and my life would not be affected.

Get a life and go for coffee. Leave facebook at home.</p> I don't understand f-book, why can't the world speak face-face anymore.

I spent so much time online updating my profile, reading posts, joining groups, etc. My last year of university, i spent so much time NOT sleeping just to keep up with the stuff on facebook. I procrastinated instead of studied for exams. I've met people who were interesting and have also met people who were mean and obnoxious. Overall, I did not find good value in keeping my facebook account. To give credit, I met my current bf there and I will always be grateful to facebook for that. </p> I was massively addicted to facebook in 2006 to early 2007.

I don't care about what people i know did or didn't do, the ones I do care about I know with out Facebook. As for past friends, I don't care, it's in the past. If i want to contact a past friend, I e-mail or use a popular device called the Telephone. As for college students, it's basically a place to post pictures up of how drunk you got. If you were really drunk, you wouldn't have been able to take a picture, fakers!</p> I don't use Facebook because 97% of the people I know use it. 90% of these people go onto it more then 3 times a day.

I'm sure Facebook is a great search engine for family and lost friends. However, it is nothing but another mainstream trend waiting to fade. Friendster, then MySpace.. now Facebook.
