I have a friend (in his twenties) who refuses to join facebook because of this specific reason, it will eat up time from real life interactions. Personally, I have become a part of the online generation, but lately debating the real value in it. Especially working remotely I am starting to value the real life relationships much more. What's weird is that people are now checking facebook even when they are with friends (sometimes not paying attention when other people are speaking :)). I think facebook has a place, but I don't like where it is headed. Especially knowing how much data they are collecting about individuals. Given how things are changing, in the extreme case we might end up like people in wall-e :) (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-joFqIPMxKY/SY2fOd1S5fI/AAAAAAAAADQ/Cp166C7pv0Q/s400/walle+fat.jpg) Bryan, I agree, we are starting to spend more time on our virtual interactions than the real ones.
