OMG, a cute guy poked me!!

"Facebook" has taken over the online social community. It's extremely rare to find a student who doesn't have one.  I'm even getting friend requests from aunts, uncles, and my parent's friends! People are relying on "Facebook" for communicating and keeping up with friends and family.  This can be a great way to stay in touch, but what happened to a friendly phone call? Now a wall post has taken it's place.  Hook-ups and break-ups are displayed on the homepage for everyone to see.  What if you don't want 600 of your very closest "Facebook" friends being updated on your love life upon signing into their account?  And there's no need to remember birthdays in the "Facebook" day and age.  Just glance at the names on the birthday list for that day and send the birthday boy or girl a quick greeting! Sure, this eliminates embarrassing moments for those forgetful few, but it takes the personal aspect out of a "happy birthday." I'm sure "Facebook" users don't completely out-rule the idea of face to face conversation or even one over the phone, but it's become much more rare.
