I guess my question is, don't they get bored with this insipid past time after a while? Whether you're playing a video game or obsessing over how others respond to your looks, at one point you surely must get bored and want to do something else.

Why do I feel like you're the only person on this thread with a life that's under the age of 30?
Granted, there are other ways to do things (mass texts are useful and I often make plans with 1-3 other people then ask others if they wanna come through), but the vast majority of the time FB is the most convenient way.
High five, really. I have a very primitive cell phone [no land line here] it *gasp* doesn't even take pictures and everyone knows not to text me because I don't do that either.KoalaKid said:
I've done the social network thing, but I started on Yafro, which was a largely unmonitored photo-sharing site.
I've stayed with those kinds of sites because they allow me to post and sell my artwork. The one I'm on now has less then 50 members [we just moved to a new host last month] but it has live links and that helps the Google ranking for my Etsy page- http://www.etsy.com/shop/PatchworkLaboratory
I think the worth of social networks depends on why you use them. Mine helps me make money while I look for a new job. It also keeps me in contact with several good friends I've known for years.
But I loathe Facebook, I have managed to avoid it entirely. The privacy issues alone were enough to make me disregard it.
The thing I hate is the idea that you need to have a 'positive online presence' in case a potential employer Googles you. I'm not making a page with my real name and a bunch of fake friends just so I can maybe get a job. That's unreasonable. My time would be better spent making things to sell. And I value my privacy too much to plaster my face everywhere. I've made sure that Googling my real name doesn't turn up a single valid hit, and that's the way I like it.
The only reason I have facebook is because I didn't an easy way to talk to each other at once about how to do a group assessment, I still have because it gives me auto sign in for the escapist.
Personally, I find it handy as a way to talk to a lot of my friends who I met through my sister.FalloutJack said:
Most of them are in college in Richmond, so I really can't talk to them a lot of the time, seeing as I'm fifteen. It's neat to see what they're doing, and one of them makes interesting posts about her guinea pigs.
I'm not saying it's the best thing in the world, but it's alright for what I need it for.
I'm finding a lot of the "facebook is for sheeple, unlike me, the anti-social badass" posts hilarious. There seems to be very few people that understand that Facebook is a communication tool, and like any tool can and will be over-used and used poorly.
It's not like people ever talk on the phone for three hours, or spend hours gossiping in person, pointless inane bullshit never occurs in real life. Nope, Facebook actively and intentionally makes people dumb.

Erm, well I use facebook a lot. But I don't use it THAT much. I don't find that it replaces my life at all. If I wasn't on facebook, i'd be doing something else tech related.
Who takes these girls seriously? They are not even fucking 16 years old, the things that comes out of there mouth is pure rubbish, and maggots infested shit..
Eh, who cares? There is always a trend, they'll eventually grow out of that and that trend will also stop, just like any other "bad" trend.
I'm not much older than those myself and I also use facebook but I've never really met girls like these. The ones I know use facebook as well but not so extreme This is just a particular group which acts like that, there are far more girls who don't behave like that. I guess I know which kind of girl behave like this.
Anyway, it's nothing to worry about, it will stop at some point.

Isn't it?Ironic Pirate said:
I do stand by my point - cellphones are not to be used during class, after all. However, mean as I can appear, I actually do care about the youngins. Heck, I'm still at least two years away from my job, and I'm already developing plans and teaching strategies. Can't wait, I tell you.
