I only use it to keep in touch with my kids. Can't do phone calls, or even texts. Can only catch them on FB.

Don't want to be intrusive but this felt like a cats in the cradle situation when i read it... Or maybe its because im listening to this song as i read this. You could always do what tony does and use your real name and ignore everyone/block them, I only use facebook to message 1 person and i dont even do facebook i just use the messenger app

Well, my daughter is handicapped with Down Syndrome and my son, much like I was at his age, is only interested in guitars, weights and girls. No time for a call, so FB made it easy to keep in touch.
Used my real name once and had a smorgasbord of people I hated from school and life mob me. Just easier under an alias, especially considering I hate the site to begin with.

I get it..
The world we live in now makes me chuckle with the disbelief on how much it has changed... Communication is what they call "evolved" but i honestly feel it's not the appropriate word, yet i don't feel like "crippled" is any better but closer in description. We now rely on computers, devices, and networks to keep us in touch, these things are now our reflection of our social status. What device you own, what network are you in, this is allowing us to continue to segregate status and even repress groups from being compatible with others. The part that leaves me in a chuckle of disbelief and that leads me to understand "crippled" is a more accurate word of the "evolution of communication" is the cost not of the device, computer, or network but of having the privilege of communication. What does it cost you to communicate on/in these devices and networks most would say your personal information is a small fee to pay to communicate but if that was true why do they want it so bad... Why does Facebook want your personal information so much that they would request proof of you identity?
This isn't a conspiracy theory, this isn't a religious belief that the world is ending, this is just an observation on the way things have changed and the cost.
