See my post above about re-connecting with a family member who now lives in New Zealand? Could not have done that without facebook, no way.

If someone want to be a hermit then thats fine, but I have far too many friends and family that I have lost touch with over the years "before the internet" came along and gave us email.

The younger people who were growing up as the internet and email came along do not have this issue, but someone my age (in my 50's) grew up, went to school (several times) and moved around the world a lot before this happened. I just got an email from my old dispatcher in Frankfurt Germany talking about my Dentist in Berlin Germany who was in touch with a friend who is in Moscow. All through facebook.

As I said, if someone wants to be a hermit then have fun but its not for me...
