Other than me, who DOESN'T have a MYSPACE or FACEBOOK ?

I'm not saying nothing good comes out of it, but from what I've noticed from family and friends, they sit for hours waiting for a message from someone. In my opinion, it is far more effective to pick up the phone and call, you would get information across ten times faster than by waiting for a message. And I also think that if you're going to stay in touch with your friends, they probably aren't good friends if you only ever talk to them via a website versus in person. Even worse, when you are hanging out with a friend at a house with a computer, all their attention seems to go to a computer, and guess what they're staring oat? Oh surprise, a myspace! Also, it should say something about people when colleges are now using a myspace to determine whether or not a student should be admitted into or expelled from a college or university. Other than sending messages, what else is there to do? People sit for hours just gazing a computer screen and waiting for a message. I just don't see the obsession nor do I understand it.

what's so difficult about picking up the phone and calling someone to have a discussion? or even use aim? probably a lot quicker than sending messages back and forth for hours on end
