“I have nothing against Facebook. But when it comes to staying in contact with my friends, I simply prefer to make the effort to reach out and keep up in a more substantial way. Staying off Facebook helps me to foster relationships with the people I really care about. I still prefer to exchange lengthy emails and chat on the phone. I find it a greater expression of care and in turn, it makes me feel more involved with my friends, not just an observer of the life of someone else.”
