I really do not like talking on the telephone. However if I do have something very important to share with a close friend or family member I will call on the phone. I would prefer a phone call as well for important information. However when we had our children we sent out mass emails because of the conveience. I use Facebook to keep up with friends I had not seen in a very long time. Great point to bring up, very interesting. I really do not like talking on the telephone.

There are certain situations that are really well-served by Social Media. Thanks for the comment! I agree, Kagey. There are certain situations that are really well-served by Social Media.

A number of years ago, before FB was so prevalent, another friend let us know about his divorce via email. That's a tough one to communicate, I think. You don't want to have to go over the details over and over, you need well-wishes, but also need time to heal...

I joined Facebook kicking and screaming. I really didn't want to, and then promptly fell madly in love with it. I did the same with Twitter. I really didn't "get it..." until one day it just clicked! Now, I wonder how I lived without it. :) Jolene, thanks for your comment!

On one hand I understand the disconnect/isolation argument of it all (spending hours in front of a computer instead of face to face communication). However, on the flip side I have connected with people like long lost cousins, high school friends who I would never interact with otherwise, and I'm able to stay updated with their kids etc. I like that! I really like Twitter, even though it took me a year to understand it :-) I think there are a lot of positive benefits to social media and it is all what you make of it and how you use it. I just saw a Tweet this morning that a company was suing someone for making defamatory remarks about them via Twitter. Like anything the bad comes with the good. Overall I like social media and wish I had more time to contribute to it all :-) I know people who are still “holding out” and so against Facebook/social media.
