You hate facebook? Too bad...you will eventually get an account.

I would sue for discrimination

A recent study showed that there is a higher than average percentage of narcissistic personalites among facebook members.

Is this really the kind of person you want working for you?

Wrong wrong, wrong . Yes today it looks like this is the way things are going to be. First of a lot of folks from pre-facebook generations will NEVER have an account. Secondly when all the young people will have an account, FB will stop being cool. FB could really become unfashionable one day, it will be "so 2012" or whatever .
Also even if a majoritz of people have an account, there could be a point to which too much internet use kills the internet.
In other words, users will be saturated, thez will have an account but never use it, so traffic and revenues will drop.
FB is NOT the juggernaut people think it will be.

peilthetraveler,

I sort of recall you have a habit of talking your book, but your call is not only likely to be wrong money wise but morally as well. Facebook is a real threat to society and saying you should have an account is like saying you should do drugs, or spend your time playing vid games instead of reading for ex.

hahaha, you kids today, no vision. That's what they said about AOL, and I still have my original account, and it's just as cool now as it was then.

I don't have facebook, I never willl, its a point of pride bucking the lemmings who think FB is wonder bread. Comparing this to cell phones is just plain idiotic. I also don't pay for cable TV opting to use an HD antenna instead... god, how do I survive?

Don't get me started about Cable TV. What a waste of about $50 to $100/month ( depending on the package). Anything of value is availale online if you search for it.

I just use a cyrstal radio. A friend has one of those new FM radios. I don't see what the big deal is. Plus, if you listen to them a lot, then you need electricity. Everything was fine until they invented the wheel. Now everybody just rolls here and there. I had to drive 5 miles to the jogging track just to see what a girl looks like when she is walking. I don't know how a young man even picks out a wife anymore. I guess now you just get on the internet and ask, "How many facebooks can you carry?"

Why do I "need" a facebook? Can someone explain this to me? What do you do with it?

Can you please tell me how I can achieve a near level of cable service free from internet sources?

I met my wife on YouTube. We are both violinists. I had just been to a live performance of the amercian violinist Hilary Hahn. Went looking for more of her taped performances. We bumped into each other while both listening to the same music video online. Both commented. Started chatting privately. ..... a baby bhardy is due in July.

So, yes, meeting people online is quite common now.
