I agree, especially when friends are all over the world. Email accounts people use change as they go to school or get a job, facebook essentially organizes all the contact information needed to get in touch with people in ways that simple emails could not do.

+1

Facebook can be very helpful/useful if you use it the right way. Abuse it and it becomes a useless waste of time.

Instead of deleting my account, I've just "un-friended" people I didn't really talked to. I like having it to keep in touch with family, especially when they're on the other side of the planet. A lot of people with over 1k "friends" will friend anyone just because. It kind of defeats the purpose.

I did this a while back on "National Unfriend Day". At first I thought it was a pretty funny joke, but once you started axing people it actually became sort of empowering.

I'm 34 but have had a Facebook account for a long time because the interns in my office all had it and they insisted we all join so that they could tag us in photos they took when we did happy hour after work. For a long time (years) I had very few friends and then almost overnight, everyone my age somehow got clued into the fact that Facebook existed and they all friend requested me. Since I knew these people, I accepted all the requests but found that none of them had any interest in reconnecting. They just wanted to see what I was doing, if I got fat, got married, etc.

All those people got the ax on National Unfriend Day. I pared it down to people I actually speak to at least once a year and family members (who quite honestly I really don't want viewing my profile, but how can you not accept a request from them?).

When used like that, Facebook is a really useful tool for one main reason: photo sharing. Beyond that, if you've moved across the country like I did, it's useful for keeping in touch with old friends back where you're from, who you may only see once or twice a year.

Nobody really uses it to pointlessly update each other about what cereal they had for breakfast, it's more of just a casual way to keep in contact, share pictures, and kind of help keep your social life organized.

I thought Twitter was totally pointless too...but it's actually kind of a neat way to quickly get information such as pressing news stories, product updates, and celebrity gossip. Maybe the last one is pointless...

you know they have actually proven (i can't remember where i heard it, i think on the news or something) that the younger generation today is so overconnected to the computer screen/phone/social media that when it comes to face to face time or job interviews, they have difficulty making eye contact with people now?? and are losing jobs as a result? it's pathetic! doesn't matter how many degrees you have, if you can't make it face to face.... you're done!

100 years of school, millions of degrees, 0 interpersonal communication skills = FAIL
