Sorry Old Friends I’ve become a Facebook Snob

What’s happened to our friends who aren’t on Facebook?  I often wonder, and it seems as though I’ve just lost track of them.  It used to be that we would keep in contact with our Rolodex of friends through our Rolodex.  Call, catch up, sometimes the calls would be too frequent and others not frequent enough.  You’d catch up on what was happening in each other’s lives.  Some calls would be short and sweet, and others would last too long. Today, we only have to scan our Facebook wall to see what our friends are up to and share the joy and sorrow that they experience in life. We’re also able to expand our Rolodex of friends, people with whom we wouldn’t necessarily have a phone conversation but with whom we care enough to see how they are doing. We have active friends, we have friends who are too active, and then we all have our voyeur friends—those who rarely make a post but know that I went to the game last Saturday. Over the past three years, I have seemed to have grown closer to all my Facebook friends, while the people I feel fairly close to who aren’t on Facebook have fallen off my radar. To me, Facebook is a real-time and huge money saver because I do not have to have the maximum number of minutes on my cell plan. Sometimes, someone I haven’t bumped into in a while will pop into my head, and I’ll wonder what he or she is up to, and then it goes away because they’re not on Facebook. I’m wondering if I’m becoming a Facebook snob.  I feel like not on Facebook, then I don’t have the time for you.  I like to multitask, follow up, and catch up with my friends on my time and on my wall.
