Response to "Facebook: Why I Love It..."

In response to this essay, i would have to agree with the author's view of Facebook. Not only does it help you keep in contact with your close friends, but also old friends that you don't get a chance to see often. When your in high school everyone you are friends with is around you or usually close by, so you don't normally worry to much about keeping in contact with them. However, when you get to college you don't get to see the people that you are use to seeing. This makes Facebook very valuable. Not only do you get to keep in contact with these friends, but you also get to see what new things are going on in their lives. Now I know that there is nothing wrong with picking up a phone and giving these friends a call. However, as people get older their lives become busier and some people don't have time to call all of their old friends. Facebook makes this situation more convenient. You can just swing by their page, leave a message on their Wall, and begin to rekindle old memories.
